It seems there's no end to the wackiness you can experience in the work-at-home world. 

 

When I stepped into a restroom at a Dunkin' Donuts (my wife's coffee addiction requiring frequent attention), I spotted some biz card sized pale green pieces of paper casually(?) placed on top of the toilet

paper dispenser.

On one side was printed many dollar signs and "1,000 Dollars" in large green (of course!) letters. On the flip side, it read, "Great news! This could be a real $1,000.00 bill for you, two to five times a week. How? Through outr fully automated, internet driven home based business.

No gimmicks, please visit www.************.org/Mr.Bruce. Thank you for your time, it's valuable and we won't waste it."

A .org suffix??? Could this be something like the infamous whitehouse.com?

A more sincere and compelling message I have never received in a lavatory before!

What a clever idea...promotional toilet paper.

 

And what are the expected results of such a "campaign"?

 

How many primo qualified prospects reply?

 

How would you refer to "poor" results??

 

Sorry, Mr. Bruce, I ain't buying. Your message seems somehow...suspect?

 

Now, if I'd found this in a Starbucks restroom...
