seeds for sale

i sell seeds. you can buy them. i sell them by the meter. yeah, the meter. enough to plant a meter of whatever plant. i measure the seed with soda bottle caps. i put it in little home made envelopes. i seal them with masking tape. then i sell the heck out of them. they cost 25 or 50 cents (guatemalan cents). $1 is about 7.50 of the currency here, so you do the math. they sell like hotcakes (hotcakes are the current topselling good worldwide). today, i sold $8 or so. i don't make a profit, they're sold at cost. I know there was somebody (J.D.O.) out there that was saying "oh, so jake is in the peace corps goudging people, good for him". it's a good time.

actually, i was thinking that i should buy your packaged seeds from you at cost under an assumed name and then smuggle them back to the US and sell them here for a fantastic profit. The cheap labor is where i really win out on this one. i'll run it by Kathy Lee and see what she thinks.

P.S. You should sell Cheerios and call them donut seeds. People LOVE donuts!
