Now, I know the heyday of Venture Capital is pretty much over, but you should nonetheless invest heavily in this scheme.  Why?  Because unlike the multitude of hare-brained, half-baked, poorly-thought-out ideas that swarmed yesteryear like stray cats on a dumpster full of albacore, <i>this<\/i> particular idea <i>absolutely cannot fail<\/i>!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s called:  Crap2Storage.com.   See?  You love it already.<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourself:  what&#8217;s the typical lifecycle of Crap in the United States?  (And you know what I mean by Crap:  Yoga videos, bread makers, double matted art prints of cheetahs, musical picture frames &#8230; all that stuff that you see on tv or glimpse on a website or spot in a catalog or find in the checkout lane of a supermarket and, without thinking, buy.)  Well, I&#8217;ll tell you what happens to this stuff.  It arrives at your home, and you set it on a kitchen counter, and then a month later you put it in a drawer or closet, and then seventeen years later you haul it off to a storage unit.  And why shouldn&#8217;t you?  It&#8217;s the American way.<\/p>\n<p>But what a hassle &#8212; not to mention a waste of space!  Unpacking the UPS boxes from Amazon.com is a chore, and taking carload after carload of Crap to your storage unit can really eat away at your valuable time.  That&#8217;s where Crap2Storage.com comes in.  Instead of buying that battery-operated self-cleaning litter box  directly from the retailer, you will instead place the order with me.  I&#8217;ll then order the item on your behalf, unpack it when it arrives, and drive it <i>directly to your storage unit<\/i>!  No muss, no fuss!  Then I&#8217;ll send you an email letting you know that your brand new six-pack of passionfruit-scented candles are right where they were eventually going to wind up anyhow:  at U-Stor.  And I&#8217;ll do it all for a mere $12 per transaction.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, I&#8217;ll also set up a sister company called Crap2Charity.com for those bleeding-heart types.  It will work exactly the same way, except I will take the Crap to local thrift stores.<\/p>\n<p>Please make million-dollar checks out to &#8220;Matthew Baldwin.&#8221;  That&#8217;s &#8220;Matthew&#8221; with two-Ts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You a should give me a lot of money, because I have an absolutely fabulous idea for a business.
