Jog-a-thon:Shame om me. when i was 14 years old my bestfriend and i developed a get rich quick scheme.
We held a fake jog-a-thon.
the first thing we did was make up false pledge forms for the local highschool that we didn't attend. this was a difficult task since 22 years ago we only had a typewriter to work with. next we sacked up and went door to door asking for pledges per lap run or one time donations.
this was our spiel:
knock, knock, a wing wong.
hello, my name is so and so and i attend such and such highschool. our spanish class is holding a jog-a-thon to raise money so that we can go to mexico and distribute food and clothing to the orphanges during winter break.
would you like to sponsor me per lap, or would you like to offer a one time donation for this worthy cause?
5 Bucks here and 5 bucks there added up to a nice tidy some of money for an honest days work.
and later when we needed some quick funds for a movie , lunch or baseball cards we would simply return to a few homes that made pledges per lap ran.
it is a part of my past. stupid kids, doing adventerous things.
we got caught with the signup sheet, by my mother.
so we each had to tithe 100 bucks to the church.
