An Opportunity of a Lifetime...

I was at a friend’s house the other day and after dinner he mentioned that he had got in on a once in a lifetime opportunity, and he was willing to share that opportunity with me.

I listened to him talk about it for about an hour and a half, and this is the basic summary of how it works:

First of all, you have to be an idiot.  And you need to be a special kind of idiot who has somehow gathered a lot of friends but now wants to narrow that friend group down to just the idiots.

And from here it’s really easy.  Basically all you have to do is assume all your friends are those idiots, talk to them all as if they are idiots, and you’ll probably find that there are at least four who are.  

Then you teach those four idiots to do the same thing, they find four, then their four find four, and basically doing this takes most of the hours of the day, for the rest of your life.  

Here's the trick: along the way you take a little bit of each of the idiots’ money, because that’s not so hard to do with idiots.  Although you also have to pay money to the idiot who found you, who pays the idiot who found them, until it goes up to the top of the pyramid and most of the money goes to one smart person who came up with the idea in the first place.

So who’s in?
