The secret to making a small fortune turning and selling pens is by starting with a LARGE fortune!:biggrin:

Now if I only had a large fortune. Oh wait!! PowerBall drawing is tonight!! Or is it Mega Millions? No worries, I bought one of each.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

 

[wood-of-1kind]

And here I thought that you did this simply for the "fame".

I used to have a boss that owns several scuba diving stores around Houston.

One of his standard lines was "In order to make a million in the dive-business, you have to start with 2"

the other - if someone asked if he was making lots money in his stores: "Yep, making a bunch - just got to wait for the ink to dry"

Kinda like Steve Martin said. "If you want to be a millionaire, 1st get a million dollars."

 

[Jim Burr]

Well...I'll be working on that for the next 30 years! Then I'll make pens!

My wife's family were farmers. They said if a farmer wanted to die with a million dollars, he needs to start with two million.
