I was going to say prostitution, but since it’s already been said, I’ll have to come up with another idea.

Get 150 people to send you a dollar. And before you ask, the answer is “no.”

Not true, when I used to live in the suburbs there was a blood donation place that paid $40 for plasma. Its still there and I know people who have done it about a year ago.

You can always prostitute yourself or blackmail someone.

You can still sell your splooge, though (couldn’t resist the alliteration). Last quote I heard was $50 per treatment (heard it from my religion teacher freshman year High School, Fr. Garvey . . . love that guy.) Unfortunately, the process takes a while and involves blood tests and the like before they let you donate.

Bullpucky. There are at least two plasma centers in the town in which I live. I don’t know their rates, but a good friend of mine went regularly.

You can’t sell blood, because they put that in people. You can sell your plasma, because they don’t put it in people. It’s used to make reagents and chemicals and stuff.
