Great Opportunities

Came across some pretty incredible opportunities in some old comic books.  Truly, times were much better.  How prosperous we must have been AS A NATION.  Check it out.

Ah, the lucrative field of AC repair.  Hell, why BUY a refrigeration unit like a sucker when you can simply take 8 months of correspondence courses and build one for a fraction of the cost.   That’s one of my favorite phrases, by the way.  You do realize that 9/10  is a fraction.  In fact, 11/10 is also a fraction.  An irrational fraction, but a fraction nonetheless.  Although this seems like a great way to create a Breaking Bad/Mad Men crossover.   A young lad learns to repair AC units and refrigerators only to be called in to do dirty work repairing fridges that store corpses or something like that.Image 2

This always seemed like the biggest scam in the world.  I had a college roommate who always swore up and down that he was going to try the line on someone “You are so beautiful.  May I draw you?”  It never panned out, as far as I know.  And this is even better.  It’s “Can I trace you using an overhead projector system?”  Although at least in this era you had to work for it.  Now?  Now it’s, “Oh, my I photograph you?”  I mean, for $1,000 bucks you can have a fancy-as-shit camera and a light setup.  And a grand is a small price to pay to see a bunch of nude ladies.   At least in most peoples’ books.  Wireless high-speed internet is like $60 a month, so really you’re a lot better off there.

Um, how?   How could you just HAVE sea horses?  This seems like buying, I don’t know, a virus or something.  Don’t you need some kind of environment for them to live in?  I mean, you can’t just dunk them in a tank and then pour in Dr. Thunder every few days as feed.Image 4

Ah, this is a nice  one.  Basically, this is the kind of thing I always planned on as a kid.  I should have printed it up on 11X17 and then had a discussion with my mom.  “Mom, how much damage can I do to our home in hopes of discovering this coin hidden in the walls somewhere?”Image 5

Yeah right.Image 6

This one is the best.  So I get a bunch of shoes and then sell them to my friends.  On Saturday morning for some reason.  Get an early start on the glamorous Al Bundy lifestyle.  There is a use for this, however.   If anyone ever tries to convince me that Mary Kay/Tupperware/Dildo Parties/Scentsy or WHATEVER the fuck is a good idea, I will display this ad.
