OK

Tongue in cheek :?

I am retiring soon. SO if I wanted an Mark II,, I could take out a reverse mortgage on the house and let my daughter pay for it after I die! :D



Hummmmmm :wink:

I was just checking out insurance policies and I would have to "die" 3 times to affors the MKII. Nuke that idea.
Could always sell the first born male child but all I got are female childs.
Now the eldest female child has just born the family a male child and I think a phone call to her this evening is in line. Anyone know the going rate for first born males :?: :?: :?: (joking)
Failing that I could start selling non-vital body parts but any of the good ones are fairly worn out. Not much value there.
Of course I could try and find a Canon rep who is into mountain biking big time and do a "I'll trade you this for that" routine. Any Canon reps reading this forum :?: Any mountain bikers :?:

1. Put it on the credit card and live on peanut butter and banana sandwiches for 2 years.

2. Put it on your wife's credit card and hide the statements until you can figure out how to lie out of it.

3. Sell all your other cameras and just hope for the best until you can get another backup.

4. Sell your car and tell your wife it got stolen but the insurance won't pay because you left your keys in it. Then buy another car. It's sort of like financing the lens, only different.

5. Don't pay your taxes. It usually takes the IRS about 3 years to really get nasty. By then you can think of something.

6. Panhandle. A lot.

7. Start a charity drive and ask for donations. You can stand on the street corner with a coffee can. You have to have an ID for that in most places, but most of us have Photoshop.

8. Identity theft. Steal your own Identity and charge it on a credit card that you obtained fraudulently. What you are really doing is stealing a crook's identity who just happens to be stealing your identity.

I have begun giving blood on a daily basis. Started last week... $25 per pint....

Wow, I only need to give only 193 more pints..... Not bad...

I would have donated my sperm, but my wife had me fixed along with the dog, she got a group rate on it....

I gotta go now, Im feeling a bit tired....

My first thought was maybe I could get a real job, then I could afford one.
Then I thought, maybe my wife should get a second job..... She probably
would divorce me (hey, then I could afford one !)

Anyway, maybe I will look for a job. . . :wink:

Take care, Rod (full time photographer)
