Every once in a blue moon, I learn
something from the computer. Not often, of course, because they
change the rules on how to use it about three times a day, and I
never was that fast.
But I love that YouTube channel. Oh man. And I believe, after
watching ‘way more episodes than my eyes and brain could handle,
that I’ve stumbled on a hidden truth.
How to mess around in dirt and rocks and get filthy, and create
something that the headline assured me would be worth millions. And
in my spare time!
So I’m sharing this with all of you. First of all, you have to move
to southeast Asia … somewhere. Shrieking monkey calls are optional,
but still a good idea.
Then you look in the house or the trash bin or the county dump until
you find a container of some sort. You know, an old flat tire or a
Remington noiseless typewriter, or maybe a wastebasket that you want
to change into a million bucks.
Then you dig a hole near your jungle home and pour water in it. A
lot of water and a lot of that gray stuff that comes in a paper bag
with Cambodian writing on it so you can’t guess what it says. But
boy, does it work! You get some window screen that no one wants,
line the wastebasket with it, and pour in the concrete.

While it’s still setting up, you
take a railroad spike and use it to carve million-dollar symbols on
the wastebasket. When it dries, you flip it upside down and plant
flowers in it.
I can’t wait to start. All I really need is a southeast Asian kid
about 12 years old who doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty. Why
didn’t they tell us these things earlier, so it wouldn’t take so
long to make that million bucks.
Oh well … [Text from file received from
