He then sold insurance on them. 2) he subcontracted kids to clean other kids' desks. In third grade! I don't believe he ever actually cleaned a desk himself (maybe not even his own).

You are a Genius, Bill Fostex. You have made my day and it's only 9:08am in Sydney. It's downhill from here and I'm OK with that! @ghechr Also the stock pic – just the icing on the cake, that is!

You are a Genius, Bill Fostex. You have made my day and it’s only 9:08am in Sydney.
It’s downhill from here and I’m OK with that!

In grade school I saw at my Dad's office a card-punch machine for card-driven computers (remember them? of course you don't) and prevailed on my dad to bring home the little punched-out pieces of card (we didn't know they were 'chads' then). I bagged them up in sandwich baggies and sold them for 50 cents each as confetti to throw at football games. I made a killing, until the bleachers' clean-up staff traced me down and convinced me to fold my tent. A Pet Rock for the 21st Century, cool.
