Providence, Rhode Island-NBC) January 12, 2006 - You can sell anything on eBay these days, and now there's a family on the auction block. Jojo Gator and Jackie Kidney say they're looking for a better life in the tropics. They would like to offer themselves and six other relatives as someone's private staff.
They're looking for sunshine, palm trees and $1.5 million for five years of service. That includes housekeeping, landscaping and mechanic work.
The couple got the idea after vacationing in Aruba. They decided they wanted a slower pace and an experience for their five children.
Jo Jo and Jackie, or is the other way around?
their five children
I wonder if they're married.
Not too bad of an idea though.
...and they were never seen alive again!
Almost tempted to bid. They could shovel my snow, wash and dry my car, fetch me my lunch and all sorts of fun stuff.
Not exactly designed to elicit a high bid for their work ethic.
Shall we introduce this couple [with their improbably names] to Beth Holloway Twitty? Perhaps Mrs. Twitty could schedule a consultation on the advisability of allowing one's children to visit Aruba ... much less live there.
Nice favors for sale.
Why would anyone visit Aruba?
I've thought of this as a way of handling our population growth. If someone from another country wants to come to the US, they could offer and american citizen a swap. If they come from a comparably appealing place, they might say 'you and I swap countries for one year.' If they come from a relatively unappealing location, they might offer a bonus such as 'you and I swap for one year and I'll give you $10000.' subject to security screenings and such.
I'm putting my virginity up for sale on Ebay. My wife says it's probably worthless but I'm thinking somebody out there might be able to use it.
Beats me!
At the price they want, it adds up to $150,000 per year per adult.
You can hire an entire Guatemalan village for that price.
I've warned my kids that if they don't clean up their rooms I'm going to get a seller's account on Ebay and auction them. No reserve. I'll take Paypal, put 'em in a big box, and send them UPS Second Day Air. For some reason they don't believe me.
"I don't care if I'm not what you expected and I don't care that you're not really a virgin. I'm the winning bidder, I want sex and I want it NOW!"
The kids can sleep on the patio. Fresh air is good for growing children.
