"Oh Lord!
Oh Jesus! Oh
Shit!
Holy Mary! Oh My
God!
Oh My
God! Oh
My God...
This Boat Is Fast!"
And then he knew. Really knew.
And it's that difference, the difference between
"intellectually" knowing and really knowing
that can save your life... or make you rich.
Enough preamble. Now it's time for me to give you your
little assignment. And, after I give you this assignment, I'm
going to explain the significance of it to you in minute
detail. And, after my explanation, the more dense of my
readers will say, "Hey yeah, this makes sense to me. I
understand what he's getting at so... there's no real need for
me to actually do this little exercise."
Is that you? If so, you lose. Because you cannot
understand what I'm getting at unless you do the
assignment. And, if you do do the assignment...
Your Lust For Money Will
Be Energized Beyond Belief

Here is your assignment: I want you to place a
classified ad in the largest circulation newspaper in your
area. Here is what the ad should say:
Housewives
wanted to address
envelopes at home. You must
have a typewriter or good
handwriting. Call 000-0000.
I want you to run this ad in the "help
wanted" section of the classifieds exactly the way
it is written above. The only acceptable change whatsoever is
maybe changing the word "housewives" to
"part-time workers" and you should only make this
change if the newspaper forces you to. Sometimes
newspapers will insist you make a change like this because
advertising for housewives is sexist (they say) and shows
prejudice against men.
