But on a sour note, I just got the bill for this thread from adiaphora. 
I didn't know that there was a humour tax? | | Back to Top | | |

I can be totally gullible so I am not sure if you are for real or just kidding. I thought the thread about charging people various prices for stuff was a total joke. Is it for real?
I guess that will limit my participation!

But I hear that there IS a tax for asking questions!

| Posted 2/26/2002 2:05 AM (GMT -6) | | As I said, I can be easlity convinced to believe what a person tells me until I start to question (which you tell me there will be a tax for  ). Call me gullible or just wanting to believe what I hear --thanks for the clarification ON THE JOKE!
I guess the cheese stands alone

| Posted 2/26/2002 3:58 AM (GMT -6) | | THE ENRON PLAN
Actually, Trosie, I didn't get all the details straight. You have to do some work at fancy-foot'n to keep this all free. Ready?
Its called the E.N.R.O.N. plan -- but I just like to refer to it as the end-run-plan, so that I can remember it.
THE ENRON PLAN
Since some folks like Semeia and I only get our news from this board--because we never leave--I might have to tell some of us what ENRON is. No? Everyone know that it is the biggest bankruptcy in US history, that they merely pretended to be in the black, when they were further in the red than anyone ever has been. Well, Adiaphora got this idea and passed it on to me. Here it is.
THE ENRON PLAN IN ACTION!
Adiaphora said that if I acted quickly enough, and shifted between activities I could do the following indefinitely!
1) Since I have so many costly features on this board already, I could go back and "correct" a few (large text, bold characters, images--especially animated ones, huge quotations, etc.) and claim those deletions as "assets." THAT WAY, at least on paper, Adiaphora would OWE ME some money. Following this?
2) Then I would spend part of that to pay off a portion of the old expensive posts, and with another part of it you will see me surely posting some other, new expensive features. (You knew I would never stop!) Why am I doing this? Well, if this shifting-value scheme is to work I'll have to have an endless ongoing supply of costs that I can declare as assets, right? Provided for--its all in the plan!
3) After a while to Adiaphora it will appear that I'm "cleaning up my act" in paying for a significant number of old posts, and also in removing a significant number of them. How ENRON-esque! I'm sure that there are a number of ENRON ex-exectutives who are unemployed that I can hire to help manage this scheme too. Don't you think? (This is getting scarry.)
4) I can (I'm taking the fifth on this.) open up another name on CVM that is quoted as being from over seas. THAT way any deletions will be worth REALLY BIG BUCKS. That's the "off-shore" portion of my business plan. By shifting features back and forth from on-shore to off-shore by way of quotations (quoted images will really pay off big!) I can actually end up, eventually, to actually make money, and not go into debt like the real ENRON did.
At least that what a pool of ex-ENRON executives in my living room right now are telling me. They contacted me, saying that I was sitting on a particularly big business deal; and that they had intentionally let their last company go under because the potential windfall possible in this Adiaphora deal will make everything else they've been involved in look like small potatoes.
Gotta go. I have to sign on the dotted line, in triplicate!
BTW -- you never read this.

| Posted 2/26/2002 4:06 AM (GMT -6) | | Trosie, since you will probably want to keep this simple. And since I've hired most of the ENRON ex-execs with real experience, I'll pass on the advice they told me to give you. (They are billing you for it anyways--so you might as well do it!) Just buy up Tom in Lebanon, and do part of what is suggested in the above post, being careful to always owe at least a little in order to declare debts an assets, and you should be OK, and maybe retire comfortably in 3-5 years.
