If they really want to raise some money, they should take a page from the medieval Catholic Church and sell indulgences. Even good posters will jump at the chance to be bad, if given permission…

I’m looking for deals Miller … I don’t see any prices advertised on the Iron Maiden, Rack or the assorted whips.

How do I know I can’t get better deal elsewhere? And what’s your return policy? If I try it for a week and find it doesn’t meet my needs, can I return them with the receipt?

How about a barter card, good for deals in Dopers’ areas of specialization? I can’t promise anything, but I could approach the good Dr. BJ about discounts in his Dr. BJ’s Salon. (Yes, it’s a real place. Yes, that’s what they do there.)
