Diet Plan

I think I’m going to start marketing a new diet.  Every time you eat something you shouldn’t, a screaming baby wakes you up multiple times at night. I just have a few kinks to work out, and then I’ll be posting “work from home”and “miracle diet” signs on every street corner.

Brilliant! Though it probably works better for women than men...

Tying together the "miracle diet" and "work from home" aspects could make this pretty effective. What I'm thinking is have each miracle diet customer take a picture of everything they eat, and send it to Miracle Diet World Headquarters (don't worry, your target market all has camera phones). Then the computers at Miracle Diet World Headquarters queue up the pictures for the Work From Home Make Millions workers. If the Work From Home Make Millions worker thinks it's something you shouldn't eat, they'll click the "Cue the Baby!" button. Each picture earns the Millions-Maker a penny or two.

Each time a miracle diet customer gets tagged with "Cue the Baby!", they'll get a call that night, sometime random between 7PM and 8AM, with a random baby scream. (Hmm, the computers at Headquarters could even figure out the likely sleep times by the times pictures come in.) Premium customers could purchase upgrades, like a wi-fi device with speakers that can be triggered from Headquarters to play screams.

This actually seems like it could be a viable business...

Also, I hope you (all) get a good night's sleep.

I'd sign up. I could use a little help in that department. I've even got a baby you could use.
Seriously, I hope you get some sleep and rest.
