Plastic Scouring Pads?

OK news from the bank, a minor problem. Apparently if we want enough Scourers' to meet the expected demand, we are going to need at least 5 fully loaded container ships of Zimbabwee dollars to pay for them.

I will equire to Jebel Ali Free Port Authority to see if we can reserve the "whole port" for 3 months. This could be a problem as nothing else could be shipped into the Emirates during this period.

This could cause severe food and other essential's shortages. I doubt whether Burger king or Mcdonalds would accept this.

Sometimes, we all have to make sacrifices for a greater good - and surely just seeing the delight on Fayz's face and his fellow sufferers, means that its a sacrifice worth taking.
That money is going to take some serious counting though! I'll have to see if I can get hold of one of those little rubber thimble things you put on the end of your finger! Might come in handy, though will make quite a hole in the finances though!

I agree zooter with regard to the nobbly rubber finger money counter device.

I have been online and logged onto the RAC and AA routefinder. I keyed in a road route from zimbabwee to the UAE. The only practicable route was via Paris going south on the Champs Ellesse.

I then calculated the number of 40 tons Artics to carry the cash and it would mean a tailback of traffic from the SZR to Paris.

I contacted Dubai Traffic Dept and they estimate the congestion would mean it would take 9 days to travel from Dubai To Sharja. This could cause a big problem on launch day.

However the good news is that the Dubai Traffic Dept are interest in us supply their patrol cars with Scourer's. Apparently they are currently undergoing a feasability study to encourage all Police Cars to have the cleanest "windscreen" in the Emirates. They think our scourer's will do the job.

Hmmm, this could cause quite a problem I admit. Erm, I think logistics should come under DK's remit actually!
We should concentrate on ensuring the counting of the money is done on time and also ensure that we get a suitable on-screen wife for Fayz's infomercial. DK can sort the traffic problems as part of his event management duties.

This looks an interesting development. I wonder if they'd be interested in having them a special colour - rather that the current luminous colours that are available?

I have got two little kids and loads of work to do that I can manage without scouring pads! I am gonna sue you guys for taking my time being so addictively funny - I think you are doing it illegally and don't have a license to do so.

You guys are going to get into the litigation wrangle even before you launch your firm.




I thought only Arnie on this forum has no work - you too zooter??

Haven't lost hope on scoring a few thousand shares on the deal. So here is some additonal marketing advice.:

How about commissioning 50 "Scouring Man" figures like those yellow ones out on the streets in Dubai at the moment (they look like the Michellene Man and must mean something) or the camel figures one sees about town. "Scouring Man" doesn't need to be just one colour - Each Scouring Pad Color = a different Color Scouring Man.

I say Scouring Man should be placed no less apart than every 1/2 Kilometer on SZR.

Money will just pour in!

Hey - I'd like to point out that we are doing all this for you (and to make money on the Zimbabwean stock market!).
And don't forget - you'll be in that infomercial with CZJ!!
Sure you don't want to join the dark side??

Yeah, good idea. Erm, Arnie was talking about shipping in the money, from our bankers in Zimbabwe!
So let me get this straight, the board of directors has increased to:
Arniegang
zooter
Dubaiknight
Easternjewel
concord

Oh, and of course endorsement rights belong to Fayz!

Gees - this is rapidly spinning out of control!!

Definately - I don't think they'll be able to print the money fast enough to fill all the container ships that Arnie has got lined up!
