I just had this thought about writing a joke / metaphor about scams and MLM.
You've seen the jokes that involves a fictional scenario, and how the various solutions would solve it. The most common example would be "how many _____ would it take to change a light bulb and why?"
What if we write one about MLM, Ponzi, and such?
Here's a few that I had in mind:
How would a ______ market water to slightly thirsty people? (i.e. not desperately thirsty yet)
Ponzi: Give me your water, I promise to give you twice the amount back tomorrow!
Motivational speaker: If you don't go out there you'll never FIND water! Get out there! Taste everything!
"Attraction Marketer": If you are more RECEPTIVE to water, the sky will rain on you!
Zeek: Give me your water, I promise to give you back a sip per day in exchange for telling people about me.
And so on and so forth.
Feel free to contribute your own, modify a few, improve the question, and so on.
