I'm going to be a gozillionaire...
I have an idea that is going to make millions!
I was watching the news on break the other night, and they were talking about a group of volunteers who, bless their hearts, reads Playboy magazine to blind people. It got me thinking, and I came up with a fantastic idea that I need to patent...
