Get Rich Quick (Work At Home Style) by Max (Humour)
I've always been interested in getting rich quick. Who needs a job when you can work from home and make hundreds of thousands of dollars in months?
Years ago when I thought B.U.M. Equipment and Windows 95 were the coolest things around, I started up a few business ventures. I created my first company after convincing myself I was a psychic.
Armed with my trusty 8 Ball, I sold readings for a quarter a piece. At the time no one knew what an 8 Ball was or what it did, hell, I couldn't even read what it said (I was illiterate until I was 12). But when I started giving readings to my grandparents, they thought I was the next Jesus. Unfortunately, everyone knows in the second coming, Jesus will be black and it was quickly accepted I was the second coming of Jesus' white cousin Larry.
After all the water somehow evaporated out of the 8 Ball, I had to resort to a different business venture. I started a newspaper called the MK News and sold subscriptions to my family. For clarification, the 'M' and 'K' stood for Max and Katsarelas, respectively (those are my initials). I started off with simple pieces about birthdays and new cousins being born. While working on one of the first issues of the paper, Britney Spears' wildly popular hit, "Hit Me Baby One More Time" was gaining notoriety. I titled one of the articles, "Oh Baby, Baby" in celebration of my cousin Ellie being born, but I did it mostly for Britney Spears, not really for Ellie.
After Britney Spears stopped making music and cousins were no longer being born, I gave up on starting businesses. That is, until today however (now I sell marbles on eBay). I've seen marbles go for upwards of a thousand dollars on eBay and because my grandma hasn't thrown anything away for 56 years, I have a sack of marbles so big, Ron Jeremy would blush. As I push on with this venture, I will keep everyone posted. It will only be a few weeks before I can afford to buy a nice Ford Aerostar minivan and a VCR.
