Subject: Great New Business Ideas (Humor?) Date: Tue, 7 May 1996 18:54:54 -0400 (EDT) Some more demented thoughts from the brain of Roy Atkinson... =============================================================================== 1. Start a hip-hop group in a suburb of Albany, NY. Call your group "The Niskayunabombers." 2. Open a home improvement store, similar to HQ or Home Depot, but let your customers sing along with popular songs while they shop. Call it "Cash-and-Karaoke." 3. Open a specialty barber shop in the Shop & Save Plaza. Call it "Stop & Shave." Train a parrot to tell people your business name and location. 4. Get a loom (with a view, if you like). Make fabrics with bizarre patterns in cartoon colors. Sell your wares via Internet. Call it "Wacky Weavers on the World Wide Web." Hire Jerry Mathers as spokesperson. [I'm leaving the slogan up to you. :-)] 5. Open a coffee bar. Decorate it with maps and globes everywhere. Call it "Pour 'n' 'ography." (Gee!) **** News story of the week. Former CIA chief disappears. 8 days later, his body is found 200 yards from where his canoe was found on the day of his disappearance. Foul play is not suspected. Ahem. <:-+ **** These business updates are totally free!!! For more FREE tips, call 1-900-555-7777 [$4.95 per minute] Entertainment only. No warranties are implied. Void everywhere. Null set.
