Lottery Ideas

I was driving up Illinois St. after work the other day. I passed 16th Street and the Indiana Lottery billboard. Powerball was up to $250 million. Ouch. That got me thinking about what I would do with all that money. And I am sure I am just a-conversing in my car with myself. "There is no way on earth to spend that amount of money." I'd buy my parents a house, make sure they were taken care. And I always say this, as though I was being interviewed on the evening news about my windfall:

"What will you do with all that money??"

"Well, I plan to start a Foundation and to support all the great causes that are out there to help people."

"What kinds of causes might those be?"

"Let me put it to you this way. Anybody who wishes to defend the nation against right-wing nutjobs can apply for a grant to my foundation. I will support just about every left wing, liberal, bleeding heart organization that is out there. Let me give you money just so we can piss off George Bush and Karl Rove."

That's how it normally goes in my head. But then I had another idea. I thought about buying up billboards around the city--they are so goddamn expensive. And putting up just outrageous messages and then monitoring the fake web sites I would create that would have just an email function to see what kinds of crap people would send me. So I started a-thinking and a-thinking. And I came up with this idea:



And apologies to all my nursing friends who are trying to demolish that stereotype. Don't worry, no one reads this blog anyway. I have huge respect for nurses and what they do, kind of like Oprah has with teachers and mothers.
