Subject: [K-list] making money on it 
From: Michael Read
  
On 2001/11/16  19:13, Michael Read posted thus to the K-list: So now you're enlightened, awake, realized and flat broke. Just how the 
heck do you make any money off of this? I mean after all those trips to 
India, Burma, China, Peru; all those workshops, intensives, and 
retreats; the yoga, tai chi, qi qong, and karate lessons; the 
channelings, the tarot readings, the past life regressions not to 
mention the divorce and child support payments - well you are just 
tapped out. You couldn't buy the echo off of a two bit whistle.
 
You could take your traveling satsang act on the road. But the price of 
admission is usually only $10 or $15 and the audiences are small. And 
you don't have the right charisma or agent for the really big draws. 
Heck, it's just enlightenment not charm school.
 
But all is not lost for you broke yet glowing folk. We'll just apply a 
little good old American ingenuity and creativity to the problem. And 
voila! T-shirt sales. Hey, it has made many a goof ball rich - don't 
knock it!
 
Here is the nut of my proposal - free franchise. Yes, free franchise. 
You pay no royalties, fees, or assignments. You only share your T-shirt 
ideas with the other franchisees. It is up to you as a franchisee to 
finance and produce your own T-shirt. You choose from the pool of 
T-shirt sayings what you like. Then you go to a T-shirt printer and have 
your idea printed up on how ever many t shirts you can afford. If you 
get some friends to pool money with you, you can do more.
 
So, say, if you would like to use:
 
I'm not only 
ENLIGHTENED 
I'm with Stupid here ->
 
the idea will cost you nothing but what you are willing to invest. You 
can do whatever you want with the profits - if any. Keep it, donate it 
to charity, buy lottery tickets, whatever. Totally up to you.
 
Here are some starter ideas.
 
If you got troubles, 
you must think you are real.

I've heard that God is All There Is. 
I just wonder what the fuck 
YOU'RE  looking at. :-)

Go Anywhere 
Do Nothing 
Love Everybody
 
(the above from the NDS Salon home page)

If I weren't such a blissful Buddha like 
person, I'd kick your ass for that!

God, party of one...

   Hey!
 
 YOU!
 
 loveya

Buddha BEER 
the beer to have 
when you're only 
having one!

Well that's the idea folks. What you do with it is what you do with it.
 
There is one little teeny tiny matter left - the disclaimer. If you 
should get laughed at, ridiculed or punched because you actually are 
wearing one of  these T-shirts, or if you go broke trying to market, 
produce, or profit from the sale of one or all of these T-shirt ideas, 
tough luck!
