It's kind of remarkable what stupid shit people will do if you give them a little money. Wow, you just made me remember a long forgotten, heavily repressed memory. Remember the Ricky Lake show? When I was 18 I rented my first apartment with a girl named Lynne. We both worked at Pizza Hut, smoked retarded amounts of pot and lived day-to-day on the $25.00 tips we'd make. We were poor, but life was fun. The Ricky lake show advertised that they needed people to come on the show and talk about how their roommates drug habits annoyed them. They flew you out there (Chicago I think) put you up in a hotel and gave you a $100 per diem. This seemed like SO much money to us. We called the show and went through several rounds of interviews. Our story (completely fabricated) was that she smoked a lot of pot and would blow it in my ear at night while I slept in order to get me high.... and now I'm getting addicted. -I know, ridiculous stuff, but they bought it.
We were actually scheduled to go on the show and my parents found out. They were FURIOUS that their boy would even consider such a thing. They (thankfully) talked me out of it. But you are right "It's kind of remarkable what stupid shit people will do if you give them a little money". Thanks for jostling the memory.
