3) "Ya know, i wouldnt mind doing Ebay for living!" (this response always leaves me speechless lmao)
4) "You get paid to do that?"
5) "You're going to hell"
6) "Want a business partner? Ya, i could do [fill in blank here] & team up with you!"
7) "How does one start doing that? I'd love to do that!"

when people want me to "show them" how to start, i usually start throwing out a bunch of mumbo jumbo that i know they wont understand & try to scare them away lol

(example: "you gotta teach yourself html, php, some htacess codes that you'll have to upload to your FTP, and i'd focus on just SE listings more than TGP listings & linklists too. The ratio conversions are usually drastically better with SE's.")
. 1) "Oh wow!! How did you get into that?" I got that response today when I told a someone (some random kid who i played a 1 on 1 basketball game with) that i do internet advertising. now he wants me me to call him tommorrow at 1 pm so I can go over to his house and "teach him how to make thousands of dollars a week before the summer is over". he was trying to talk all hard like "im a master at java, i can probably make a program to generate thousands of pages in seconds. we should start a company and become rich". dumb fucking pothead!!
