Interesting story how I got this idea. About 35 years ago, I had a customer from Minnesota. He would come down once a month with a huge trailer and load up about 20 grand in lamp shades. This was when the banks were playing games with shuffling money around and it took a long time for a check to clear. He came down a second time before the first check cleared. The next day, the first check bounced and I knew I was screwed. He had a terrible temper. He once gave me a bad cussing over something that was 100% his fault. A few hours later, he called and apologized.

He wound up murdering his wife and burning their house down to try and hide the evidence. He had been taking the various taxes out of employee checks, but not sending it to the gov, so when they tried to draw unemployment, they were out of luck. He had an Indian woman working on his books that he tried to pin that on. She was trying to hide out on a reservation.

Well, he got 25 or so years in the pen. Just got out recently. His prison job was teaching English to the Mexicans.
I’ve thought it before but now I’m convinced that @berniecarbo lamp business is just a front for his criminal enterprise. Have you ever seen Bernie and Joe Biden in the same place? I don’t think so.

I'd be a good bartender.

"Here ya go folks, 3 bud lights and a 7 and 7."

"Can you all do me a favor? Can you take those and find somewhere else to sit?" "Outside maybe?"

Meh, I'll probably cave and just start doing some some small IT consulting crap. Or maybe go to law school.

Man, how in the hell did Dirk Minniefield get UP that high on that dunk? That was surreal.
They're 6 and 7's today.

I had customers from everywhere. One was from southern Indiana near Louisville. He was a retired debt collector for Harrahs Casino in Las Vegas. He was a very large man, but super polite.. He said he wanted to get into an easier business (lamps and shades), so I gave him all sorts of contact info and he was always very appreciative after that.

There were all kinds of stories about him. Here is one he told me. A federal judge from St Louis had skipped out on the casino owing them 50 grand in gambling debt. They sent him to collect. He knocked on the door and asked for the money, but the judge refused to pay. He said he was scared because it was a judge, but he was NOT going back to tell his boss he didn't get the money. He was persistent and got the money. Before he got to the airport, he was surrounded by police cars and arrested.

He said he spent a couple of days in jail, but eventually a SC judge convinced the Fed judge to drop the charges and he got a ten grand bonus for a job well done.

Guys who worked for him told me he had six Rottweilers running loose in his house and a loaded gun in every room.

Allegedly Bernie. Allegedly.

Nope, it is unlawful to clown around in court. Well, in court where the judge is a conservative. Liberal judges are clowns of a different sort...evil space clowns. Most of them are like their fellow criminals, space out head cases.

Three posts in a row.

I think I need a job. Probably start looking after the Holidays.

I'm sure, with my "people skills" it shouldn't take me long to find something.

Driving a school bus again is not an option, not after the "parent incident" and subsequent "meeting" with my supervisor. He didn't care for my suggestion about what he could do with the "write up" I refused to sign (along with the letter of apology to that straight up trash mother that I refused to write) So, I'm open to suggestions. Let's go gang, help me find a job. I'm going to go ahead and nip the "How about Circus clown" thing in the bud so...

I'd prefer not to deal with, see, or even talk to, you know, PEOPLE, but other than that I'm wide open. Surely ONE of you all knows about a promising lead. Maybe some sort of "think tank" that's probably right in my wheel house. I'm a great "idea" man. That's probably my forte. I guess I could tutor Math but when my friend asked me to help his daughter several years ago, after 3 sessions, she told her Dad that "I wasn't working out" I dunno, my attitude was brought up/mentioned as a factor. I like the kid, known her since she was a baby, but she wasn't going to split the atom if you know what I mean.

Get cha one like they have in front of Lowes. Dress like the clown and be ringing a salvation army bell. Some may confuse you with the golden arch hack so for sure, do not call the wieners the McDog!

I posted that as a joke, but out of curiosity, I started looking into it, and no **** it seems like a legit option. I might actually DO this. Hitch it to a car in the morning, roll to some arranged location and sell hot dogs during the lunch hours 3 or 4 times a week, 7 months a year. LOL You can buy those Costco 1/4 pound beef hot dogs on the cheap. Have a cooler full of sodas, and pre-packaged condiments. A dog and a drink for 3.50 nets 2 dollars an order.

*** it. Maybe I'll just open a hot dog stand. HK's Home of the CLOWN DOG. (CASH ONLY) for tax purposes.

I won't put ketchup on them though. No way. If you want ketchup on it that's on you, just get the **** out of my sight before you do it, you Philistine.
Oh No you don't!
I'm not falling for that "hot dog stand" hole in the wall trick again, clown!

Damn, I was going to charge 3.50 for a dog and a drink. According to this dudes menu board, I'm WAY undercharging

Price just went up to 4.50

Would you all buy a 1/4 pound beef hot dog and a drink for 4.50?
As long as you don’t mathematically tried to explain to me how you came up with the change, yes I would.
