It's been over 10 days...

... and I've yet to change a poopy diaper. Not that I want to jinx the streak or anything, but let me tell you: ha ha ha ha ha ha.......

Why, do you ask, why are you not changing poopy diapers? Well, it's not like I planned it or anything. It's just that whoever is holding the poopy baby gets the poopy diaper. There have been times where I've swapped babies, only to have said baby have massive poopy diaper. Close call my friend! Close calls!

I'm sure the pendelum will swing back and then I'll be swimming in poo, but until then: ha ha ha ha ha....

UPDATE: Hah! The streak ended within 1 hour of this post! I've changed a poopy diaper! I knew I shouldn't have blogged the streak!

And you're return will be higher since (hopefully) you're assets will rise in value! Cool concept, but jeez, pretty up the website a little!

Smokers Brokers ::: "Smokers' Brokers allows smokers to invest the money that they would have spent on cigarettes into well-regarded mutual funds on a pack-by-pack basis.
