Invest in skateboards

When everything around us is falling apart, when we can't even give away our houses, when we start pretending to forget our friends' birthdays because we can't afford gifts, when we get a Costco card because Giant supermarket is just too expensive, the city of Baltimore is showing us the way to financial freedom. Invest in skateboards.

Recently, the mother of a 7-year-old who was arrested for sitting on a dirt bike was suing for $10 million (that's the latest amount I've heard of. I also saw $30 million and $40 million. Who knows...). Now, the most famous skateboarder in America (who doesn't have a video game named after him, but does have over two million YouTube fans) is going for a more modest sum: $6 million.



That's a lot of money. I think I'm going to use the last of my change, get a cheap skateboard, and go to the harbor. Bring it on, city police. I've got nothing to lose, and a lot to win.

The beauty of it is that you don't even need to know how to skate. All you have to do is find the douchiest-looking cop and stand around with a skateboard. Unfortunately, you need someone to make the video. That's okay. Obviously the city has enough money for both of you.
