A few days ago, my dear friend Mike came up with an idea. “I’ll help you raise money for OurJoules,” he said, “but in return I get to write your facebook statuses for one week.”
Now as much as I love OurJoules, I had to give this some very serious thought. Mike is a great person, but he is well-known for being, to put it very politely, a bit of a loose cannon. This man in college used to grab my cell phone during a party and send very explicit text messages to random people in my phone.
Yet for reasons I don’t understand, I am still friends with him and I thought it would be worth giving this new marketing technique a try.
So here is the deal: If Mike raises $500 between March 5 and April 5, he gets my facebook password. Oh yeah, I almost forgot… I also have to write “Mike is my hero” on my stomach and post that as my profile picture.
The good news is, if he doesn’t reach $500, O.J. keeps the money and runs!
As of right now, March 7, he has raised $20. I am feeling pretty relaxed about this, because $480 is a lot of money.
I’ll post updates here or you can also follow along on facebook.
