    Here is my product: Pet Rentals! Lots of people love fuzzy creatures, but a lot of them either can’t keep one (Apartment, Housing regulation, Roommates, etc.), or they don't want to take care of one. With pet rentals, people could just rent a pet for a day, and then bring it back. The real catcher will be that not only is it a rental store, but you can also buy the pets outright. Imagine how many people would rent a pet only to decide at the end of the day that they want to keep it. The TV ad would go like this: A nerdy little guy walks into the store and rents a cute little dog. Flash to him walking the dog in a park. An attractive woman walks by and says, "That is the cutest dog I have ever seen!" The nerd replies with new self-confidence, "Wow, you are the first person he has taken a liking to. He has good taste." Flash to the two of them getting married, and the dog dressed up in a little doggie tuxedo. It is a sure thing! If only I had some motivation, my chain of pet rental stores would be as widespread as Starbucks. :)

    I think you can make more money on Girl Rentals :) Vagif Abilov MCP (Visual C++) Oslo, Norway If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them. Jack Handey, Deep Thoughts

You could, but most customers - especially those who order around closing time at the pub - will want to serve her breakfast, as well. A few may want to take her to a movie, or the park. Best to ask a flat day rate in such cases. "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Recursion." "Recursion who?" "Knock, knock..."

        Your name sounds familiar... were you a customer?;) "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Recursion." "Recursion who?" "Knock, knock..."

            This sounds like real animal exploitation, and I advise you not to take it seriously. The pets would be traumatized by having such a variety of owners that they would be psychologically imbalanced. Rogers Pet Processing sounds kinder in comparison. Regardz Colin J Davies

                Yes, I agree. This is not a good idea. Better alternatives are providing a foster home for a pet from a humane society or some other similar organiztion. Think about the animals and not the cash.

                    A real cat wouldn't let you do this to her. Only dogs will be happy to suffer this (olthough most are likely to get weirdos this way)
