A pleasant way of earning

04/21/2009 11:06 AM

Is this the best way to earn money?

Most of the time contractors want to get the job quickly out of the way but obviously he did not want to do a rushed job, especially if he's got the money up front and she was a former 'beauty qeen'.

How long did it take the two of them to cook up that excuse?

But to reveal that his own kids weren't his own - oh the pain from the belly laughs!

Which reminds me of the old joke...
After many years of trying, the couple finally conceived.
They went to the local news paper office to put in a notice of the happy event.
The guy on the desk took the details and then asked..
'How many insertions?'

I'll let you write your own punchlines!

However, when you have a (former or not) beauty queen on your hand it is....why can't it happen to me?

I would have done it for her (gratis) day in day out just to make sure she gets the service and the goods she was asking or hoping for and who knows maybe she would have come back later for a repeat.

I guess that could be called -

'Customer satisfaction garanteed you come back for more!'

He accepted the job despite knowing he is sterile : technically, he is guilty of fraud, as he accepted the job despite knowing all along that he is unable to deliver the final product as contracted .

Reminds me of the lawyer who filed for loss of a box of expensive cigars by fire with his insurance company. The insurer investigated and found that the cigars had been intentionally set and filed criminal charges against the obviously stupid lawyer.

I can see it now...

"Bio-Chemical Engineering... - Six Month Special Engineering project

I had the opportunity to be one half of a bio-chemical engineering task force dedicated to creating a new DNA/RNA based microorganism. While the renumeration for the work period was not excessive, the work and working conditions was its own reward. Unfortunately, the outcome of the project was not as desired due to a quality control issue with the raw ingredients required for the base chemical reaction to function to desired specs.

I look forward to perhaps a repeat opportunity to "dive" into such work in the future."

LOL...
