Question: What do you do if your side-of-the-road fruit-selling business isn’t taking off like you’d hoped? Answer: Add another fruit to your inventory.

Pssst. Hey. Did you know that lava lamps are still available? I know that because I read this Craigslist ad titled, “Lava Lamps are still available.” Totally made my day, man.
