TAKE A COOKIE WHEN PASSED
By Bnoopy - An entrepreneurship blog

Here's a lesson that has stuck with Bnoopy, - and one that he adheres to today. Take a Cookie when they're passed. [via Don Park]

Note, Don thought of Wishstore: an online retailer that sells imaginary products.  He thinks such a website would be entertaining enough to draw traffic and generate decent ad revenue, and says "Besides, if an imaginary product is popular enough, someone will make it.  Kind a dream come true for manufacturers, isn't it?"

If Don had his Wishstore up and running, I would wish for a gadget with which to zap a fly without having to stand up and chase it. The loud zzzztttt of one fly buzzing at full speed around the room, bouncing off walls and against windows is truly annoying, especially when it goes on for hours - and if there's more than one.

Here's something for Don - not that he needs any tips - SIRC Guide to flirting. Heh.
