Guyz, you have no idea about my dad and the hair brained schemes he has and will continue to come up with....Besides the whole "Injecting himself with bee and snake venom because science" he has had numerous "get rich quick schemes" throughout the years. These are a couple I can think of off the top of my head.
-Investing in a racing Greyhound when the woodlands first opened...the dog never won anything and was eventually "Sent to live on a farm"
- Wrote a computer program to analyze roulette numbers in the early 80's....took one of the first McIntosh's on plane to Vegas and would write down roulette numbers, go to room and plug them in to the computer, run back down and bet on the numbers his program said would come up next....he claims this worked
-Planting cherry or walnut tree's(Was going to sell the wood for gunstocks?) on my grand parents farm IN WESTERN KS.......weird, they didn't get enough rain and died.
-rough ridin' penny stocks....Loves them and would always try and get me and my brother to invest our chore money in them growing up......never worked.
-Got laid off from Honeywell/Bendix after the cold war....Joined Primerica(Multilevel marketing) and tried to make it big selling insurance for 4 years until my mom made him get a real job.
-Bought two African grey parrots and attempted to breed them for 10 years......nothing
