He knows basketball, but I don't see the business sense needed for success.

This has potential written all over it. I suggest we rename the contest and begin a thread to the affect of "Get a Stupid barner to Pay You $25 Large by giving him an Idea Where He is Assured of Losing His Initial Investment".

Anyone can convince Sir Dumbazz that a solid business idea will work. The trick in the BAMAWV version is to sell him on an idea that will:

1) Make him lose money
2) Get him to continue sinking $ into the losing venture
3) Make a laughing stock out of the barn.


Several ideas come to mind. We will have to go on the honor system that others on this forum will not submit the ideas of someone else's work. That way we can enjoy the levity as a group.

1) 24 Hour Elephant Wash-- Have you been wanting to buy an elephant but had concerns about hygiene/grooming? My thought is to open the first one in T-Town. When it takes off, we convince Sir Stupid to open up in auburn, Opelieka, etc.LOL.

I met a guy that ran a classified (Hustler Mag?) for the women's panties (used) thing. She bought them a K-Mart (cheap) and wore them once. I think he said that sometime she had to change a couple times a day to keep up with demand. Also I knew a guy that was gluing a fourth leaf on three-leaf clovers, laminating, and selling through the classifieds. He had a collection of letters people sent (with their $), explaining their need for a lucky charm.

I think the only thing more disturbing than this is Chuck owning a team. It's a turrible idea.
