the worst business idea in the history of business ideas.

before we discuss that, a PSA: Thursday! Spread your filthy wings & fly, have a violent crash into something "week", and that will be the "end" of you.

An associate of mine often approaches me with a weekly, or even sometimes daily business idea. They usually aren't get rich quick schemes, so I'll give him some credit. Maybe he'll be a millionaire someday, some of them have been promising. For the most part though we often fail to realize the sheer amount of money associated with getting a small to medium business off the ground. All that said, even smart people have dumb moments, even young people have senior moments. Here it is: The Last Supper Foundation. Last Supper was set up so we as a society would be able to feed all the homeless dogs, in dog shelters. A noble idea in and of itself. I myself was a former dog owner and have fond memories of the companionship that a dog can bring. Here's where it gets inscrutable. The dogs would be feeding on dead human bodies. What else can I say? Wow! I guess you can sign me up, I wasn't planning on doing anything else with that not-so-free time I had after I died. In our conversation, I seem to remember him saying something about it being a non-profit, for profit organization. Isn't that impossible? Maybe he was hoping somewhere deep down in his voluminous mind that he could get some sort of Government funding. Therefore not having to charge a premium price for the donantion of bodies. I'm sure families, and loved ones will be biting (no pun intended) at the chance to give away sweet ole' Grammy to Cujo. I do think this one trumps them all. I hope I haven't offended any small children in the process.
