Ed Note: WFTG does not advocate the practice below. The SPCA is a good organization whose resources should not be needlessly depleted, and in fact, feel free to donate to compensate for your fellow unemployed's transgression. With that said, I have to give it up for ingenuity.

I told you about that cat, right? The one that everyone keeps passing around saying he's an asshole? Well, I agreed to foster him for a while, and actually think he's great. But of course, none of his previous foster parents bothered to get him vaccinated, etc. I called around, and even at PetSmart it'll cost close to $200 for visit, testing, shots, neutering. I can afford his monthly upkeep, but not the upstart cost. So I got an idea. I surrendered him to the SPCA, where they'll take care of all that, and I can buy him back for $20. A 90% discount!!
But here's the catch. As I'm the one who dropped him off, I can't be the one to adopt him back. Figuring that you're unemployed, too, and have the time, feel like adopting my cat for me next week? I'll pay your bus fare.
