Lunch of Genius!!!

I went to lunch awhile ago with a couple of my friends. I like eating with these guys because they are pretty creative and they came up with a few ideas that I think are just plain genius...

Genius I tell you...

1. Edible Lottery Tickets -- One of the criticisms of the lottery is that it is a poor tax. Only the people that really need the money are the ones dishing out their little money to play. It's a sin. To counteract this, one of my friends (ArtieLange) suggested that all lottery tickets be edible so that the poor would at least get something out of it. It is a great idea in theory, but I envisioned a brand new "enemy" -- health advocates. Odds are that the lottery tickets were going to have to made from something that wasn't perishable like fruit rollups or beef jerky. Neither are healthy foods and would contribute to the further problems of the poor. Now... we don't need the lottery creating more diabetics... do we?

2. Mel Gibson/Tom Cruise Movie -- In an effort to rejuvenate the careers of Mel Gibson and Tom Cruise who have entered the worlds of weird and jackass over the past couple years, it was suggested by SZG that Tom Cruise use his enormous control to make a positive epic about Mel Gibson. It would serve a couple purposes... It would allow Tom Cruise to act weird and show that his behavior is actually normallerish than Mel and yet... have a happy ending to spin the Mel Gibson world back onto an axis that is more in line with the rest of the world.

3. Anonymous Lottery Tickets -- This is apparently already the case in Delaware. If you win... you can win anonymously... that is genius... God Bless Delware. I will probably never say that ever again!
