a Serious Business proposition

[nocturnemission]

You know what this place needs? A lemonade stand!

So how about it; who wants to go into business with me? You do the lemon squeezing and man the booth and I'll, uh... I'll take care of advertising!

Hey, I'll even give you 10% of the profit! Pretty generous, huh?

That doesn't sound generous... it sounds tricky.

[nocturnemission]

No way, that's just how big business works.

[purple_pliers]

A lemonade stand isn't big business.

[nocturnemission]

Well, not yet. We can totally make it big if we try, though!

[takeme2urpants]

What is lemonade?

[I am five and wearing a dress]

[nocturnemission]

Uh... A sweet yet tangy refreshment.

[takeme2urpants]

Oh.

Is advertising very hard?

[nocturnemission]

Yeah, it's pretty tough. It takes all sorts of surveys and calculating, you know?

[stanleys_cup]

[Clearly insulted!]

Ten percent?!? Jesus Christ, dude! I could make my own crappy little lemonade stand and barely get any sales and still make more than that!

[nocturnemission]

Oh yeah? Well then maybe you should, kid!

[stanleys_cup]

Oh yeah? Then maybe I will!

[Even though he totally thinks lemonade stands are lame, he has to prove a point! Stick it to the man!]

[nocturnemission]

Fine! But don't blame me when my stand runs yours out of business.

...

[nocturnemission]

Sup, Neji! Interested?

[screwfate]

Do I seem like the sort of person who runs a lemonade stand?

[nocturnemission]

I dunno, it might make for a good undercover job.

[grillitwithfire]

Sixty.

[nocturnemission]

No way! I'm the owner!

[grillitwithfire]

You're only advertising!

[nocturnemission]

What do you mean only advertising? It's important work!
