Check This Out. I'll Get Paid To Eat ! Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

I signed up to participate in surveys.
The first one is today, and should take 1-1 1/2 hours.
All I have to do is eat pepperoni, and I get 40 bucks.
How cool is that?

Now if I can get one for drinking beer, I'm set.

I used to sign up for stuff like that when I was back in New Zealand.

One time I got paid $60 to talk politics and drink as much beer as I wanted for an hour.

YYYYYYyeah, like I believe that! They are not telling you everything there is to it.. Maybe they are like testing out new chemical agents, biological weapons and stuff, you know for wars. They give you small amounts in pepperoni, because you can't really taste it with it, so you won't ever know. Then they test you, and if you get sick. Then they take samples of you, when you sleep, so they can make antidote for it.. So don't be surprised if you're offered 'a vitamin shot' for 50 bucks or so. That means you are sick, but I wouldn't trust my butt for them to test with antidotes also!

Either I know this because I'm CIA, or you are completely safe and get paid for eating..

All done.

Was eating pepperoni pizza.
Before it started, I was looking at the questionaire, and this woman sets down a cup of water, and a little plastic serving cup, of crackers.
I looked up so fast I liked to have popped my neck out of joint.

Different styles of pepperoni pizza.
With either a garlic butter and/or ranch dip on the side, use optional.
Paid off with 2 twenty dollar bills. Cash money.

The Empire in Mangatainoka was doing something similar the other day, it was talking about rugby though.

They gave me this crap story that being 17 you're not allowed to be paid to drink alcohol, while in actual fact it is only illegal to drink the stuff. .
