I was thinking the other day and I figured out a really great business opportunity. Could pay off really big for me! - I don't know why nobody else has ever thought of it before. It's so simple! I figure, I'll by a hand gun - you know - a pistol and go downtown and walk around on the Nicolet Mall and demand people give me their wallets at gun point. Ya, I know - how simple! What a really great idea! I've been trying to figure out what kind of gun to get - if it's too small like a .22 or something, people might think it's just a toy and might give me a bunch of grief. I don't really want to shoot anybody - I just want their money. Could be a lot of hassles if I start shooting people - I suppose. Dealing with the general public can be such a headache. So I was thinking, maybe something really scary, like a great big old .45 automatic. You know something that speaks for itself and says "your money or your life" - something with instant "credibility". On the other hand - I hate to be lugging all that weight around all the time - especially in the hot weather. So I'm still thinking about the gun. ******** I've been trying to work up a "business plan" I can take to the bank and see if I can't get a small business loan to help me get started. I understand they do that sort of thing - could be helpful. I think guns and ammo can be pretty expensive. I figure to stay as a "cash only" business, at least to start. I understand there's quite a market for stolen credit cards out on the dark web - but that sounds like a of of extra work. I'm not that greedy. Besides, I could always add that on later, once I get established. I don't think I need the extra hassle to start. I think this could be a really great opportunity - I'd be my own boss - set my own hours and I'd get to meet a lot of new people. Could be ideal! ******** I was wondering if maybe some of you could help me out. Once I get my gun I'd like to hold up a few friends first - just for practice - so I can work out any kinks in my delivery. I think it'd be easier to rob friends first - just to see how it goes - just in case I screw it up or something. So bring about $200 - that should be enough to make it worth my while - in $20s please - it's annoying to me to have to break big bills. I'll let you know more about this once I get the gun. And I promise not to actually shoot you - if I don't have to. ******** You know, I'm thinking, if I go downtown I'll have to pay parking all the time. Maybe it'd be better to go out to the Mall of America instead. Parking's free and I could work inside - air conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter. Besides there'd probably be a lot of tourists there flush with cash. Ya, but you know the Mall isn't really near my house at all though. I hate the idea of having to drive all over town everyday. ******** Maybe I need to think about this more. Could be a lot of hidden issues I'm just not picking up on. Maybe I'll hold up on this for a while and think this through more. There must be some reason why no one else is doing this. I wonder what that could be.
