I need some extra cash. Anyone here ever do it? Don't be ashamed to admit it. Just wondering how it worked out for you.

Sorry I did it only as a kid. Do kids even do it any longer? I though liberals and their child labor laws took it all away from kids.

Remember only to throw papers to subscribers, and watch out for the tornadoes and breakdancers.

I've seen people that do it, and they all have dark circles under their eyes and are a bit quirky. They also drink coffee in 40 oz cups. Don't do it for the long haul or you may end up like them.

What Chris said. When I worked at a movie theater there was a woman with a paper route who was kind of off kilter. Basically she'd work the closing shifts, which with all the stuff that goes into shutting down a theater for the night would mean finishing up around 3 in the morning then go off to get the stuff she'd be delivering that day. In the process she'd essentially become nocturnal.

I have a cousin that has a route. He brings home about $400 every two weeks. 1099 contractor so no taxes w/held.

See, it's true. God does always answer, sometimes the answer is no.

I kid though.

WC thinks either this thread was aimed at him (ergo the response) or that every thread is aimed at him (ergo the responses).

Dude asked "as an adult I mean" and the 1st response is "I only did it as a kid".

Clue: Don't fucking answer if it doesn't pertain to you.

Ergo I formulate E-WC2 where E is Ego and WC is obvious, and the squared part has to do with flag lots.
