The Drayton Bird Blog – Where my money goes: dental agony and a little journey into Promiseland
admin2 on 01 27, 2010

Some spend their money on fine wines. Others go cruising or skiing. Still yet others invest in rare motor cars, paintings and antiques.
But what money I have left after my last divorce (score: Wife 34; Bird 0) tends to flow in the direction of my dentist, the worthy Tariq Idris. My bridges, implants, flying buttresses and so on are a monument to his ingenuity, and that of his predecessor.
So after three hours at his hands yesterday you couldn’t get much sense out of me due to protracted agony. I was cheered up no end though by my new hobby – reading the outrageous claims of those who specialise in putting you in what rogue salesmen I worked with when young called Promiseland.
One heading was “Is this a scam?” followed by ingenious protestations of good faith and the usual cavalcade of testimonials. But the one that got the biscuit contained the following stream of wondrous pr0mises:
Not only is my friend Jeff “Herschy” Schwerdt giving you a Cash Flow Supercharger, he’s handed you the keys to his Viral Submitter software, helping drive traffic to your own Cash Flow Funnel.
Wouldn’t you like all that stuff, friends?
In case you have doubts I shall start shortly be launching my Prehistoric Unsupercharged No-Miracles Get Rich Slow But Sure alternative which works on the old-fashioned basis: you have to do a little work.
Among other things I will be analysing how all these schemes work. There is much to be learnt because they are all based on sound principles, even if their promises are a little high flown.
