“I look forward to an enjoyable association with Andrew — a man who clearly has a head for business in every sense of the word,” SnoreStop CEO Christian de Rivel said.

Geez! That seems like a lot of money for that. Just imagine if everybody started doing that?

Hmm… I don’t think my employer would look too fondly on meeting with clients like that… I would totally do that if I was unemployed (and not job searching) though! $37k for one month? More like all the free publicity they’ll get for this story. This reminds me of that casino that bought the toast with Mary on it…

My lord, if he can do it, you can, I can, he can, she can. Here is the thing, if we all start doing something like this, everyone would ignore everyone elses ad and then that would take the mystic out of it and it would merely be another forehead advert.
Good money though if you can get it but I have to shudder to think of the looks he’ll get:)
take care
