Anybody Interested in Buying My Used Gum?

By and • April 9, 2002

My Tuesday afternoon consisted largely of trying to convince my work colleagues to buy my chewed-up wad of gum for a hundred bucks. Perhaps not the most productive couple of hours I've ever spent, but with graduation just a month away and my lucrative college journalism career about to end, the thought of unemployment and poverty led to the unorthodox would-be money making venture.
