        PfFt. Amateur level stuff!

        Try this on for size:

        And that’s not the limit, either.

            If even one person is dumb and rich enough to buy it, then it’s worth it to make the website to try to sell it to them. And we live in a world with many such people.

          I like this old one too, the cat destroyed the outer layer of an expensive audiophile power cable, revealing a garden hose below…
          needless to say, the owner decided to look deeper.
