Book lending for air travellers

I was thinking of creating a book lending business in airports for travelers on long flights. Instead of buying the book in the airport bookshop the passenger can borrow it only for the course of the flight by having the credit card charged full retail price of the book. Upon arriving in the destination airport the passenger returns the book and gets full refund in their credit card. The book can then only be re-lent to passengers traveling back to the country airport the book originally came from.

If a passenger really likes the book they will have the option to buy it by simply keeping it. In this case a new order to re-stock the book will be automatically made via the system and a small profit realized from having sold it retail price. People can also donate books in this business and if their used-book is sold they get to keep a portion of the profit.

Madoff give me $1 million and I'll co-sign...

Madoff was released on a $10 million personal recognizance bond secured by his $7 million Manhattan apartment. But because he failed to secure the required number of co-signers for his bail bond home detention was required. No chance of leaving the country now for a Ponzi-friendly jurisdiction...Madoooooff if you give me $1 million I'll jump in and co-sign on that bond. It's all for the public good! I have so many debts and people to pay and I promise to spend all the remaining money on charities and the economy. I know you have internet at home and if you don't mind you can wire the amount here. No prob. Do we have a deal Madoff?? :)

Hi beautiful, these flowers are for you! So that our first love never fades away...

Here is why plastic flowers on the first date is brilliant. If the date doesn't go well, you can use the flowers on the next one.

Plastic flowers are also environmentally friendly, cause they help keep the real flowers in the soil, where they really belong!

I know some women might not like this idea at all, but those of you who will, you just proved your good sense of humor.

So, to my female supporters out there, I promise to buy you dinner all with your support.

If that sounds cheap, it isn't. It is called R-E-C-Y-C-L-I-N-G! Hope this idea will save you money and time on your next date. Thanks for supporting it. I promise not to use your support for dinner with my female supporters. I just need it for buying them plastic flowers!

Buy the car, Lease the Battery

Smart idea from Norway. A two-seat, electric-powered car that is environmentally friendly and very inexpensive.

It’s called the Think City Car, here is the site to take a look http://en.think.no/

You can buy the car for only USD 15,000 to 17,000 for the vehicle, but the company leases the battery.

The battery could cost an estimated USD 34,000, more than the price of a low-end luxury vehicle in most countries.

By leasing it, you don’t pay a large amount upfront and you assume fewer risks as a buyer. The company replaces the battery when it runs into problems.

Great idea, I thought it should be posted and supported here as well!
