Pet Rock

[Blzer]

Soo... what was the deal with these things anyway? Tell me all about them... I don't understand how a guy could supposedly make millions by selling rocks in a box.

Did any of you guys buy into this money-making scheme, and what did you use them for?

I'm sorry... I've just never really knew what they were until we talked about them today in English. Like, I've heard of them, but I didn't know that it was just a goddam rock.


Lend me your voices!

I read about this a while ago, but can't find a news source right now.

Essentially a guy took a paper clip and traded it to someone for something else. Then he took that object and traded it for something else. This went of for a long time. Eventually he was able to trade something for a house or another big item.
