Many of you know that I am constantly on the look-out for legal and relatively safe ways to increase my income. While I have yet to sell my plasma, and I maintain a few concerns about being a surrogate mother, I do not believe in street-walking, donating my eggs, or the like.
Tuesday, as I glanced through The Ottawa Herald, I noticed a mid-Western young man’s genius. Ebay. This brilliant youth auctioned himself off as a prom-date. He recounts, “I was inspired as I thought about prom and stuff”. Amazing. If you think about it, ebay is an excellent substitute for Walmart. Everything you’ve ever wanted, at your price. Need a 16th century Japanese Samurai sword? Get it on ebay. Coveting an authentic replica of Dorothy's ruby red slippers? Ebay. Looking for OJ’s glove? I’m sure it’s on ebay.
Now, the article did not include a picture of this boy, but I’d like to think I would make a riveting date for more than $29.99. I wonder if I actually have to go on the date, or if I could fabricate a hologram or set up a web-cam as a proxy?

Just make sure you set a minimum bid--so you don't end up going for $1. That'd be an ego blow.
