According to reports from economic scientists, leading researchers, math-magicians and business sexperts: the economy is back. Where it went, not sure. But the important thing is that it is, and I quote US Treasury Secretary Timothy Gunn, “if you want to get in the “game,” it’s time to start a business or whatever.”

Here are a few ideas for you business-minded folk:

Gold4Cash – Cash4Gold was big when the economy was slumping, so it stands to reason that in good times, some manner of store where people could exchange hard currency for this shiny, dazzling metal would be very successful.

1950s style diner – Sure, why not? Make sure to offer a few types of grilled chicken salad. I’d like to have a lite lunch today.

Movie Studio – The world is ready for a “Pushing Tin” reboot.

Put The Pardoner’s Tale in your beach bag for a thrilling summer read.

BUT NO ONE IS LAUGHING ANYMORE! 

I decided enough is enough and I am putting our joke covers online. The next post is our first effort.
