We’re living in an era where it’s imperative to stretch dollars and maximize profits and sometimes that means getting creative. When asked “What are the weirdest ways you’ve made money?”, the responses did not disappoint.
“I spent one March break in the 90’s dressed as Barney the Dinosaur for a store promotion”
“Did some work as a simulated patient methodologist; basically I role-played being a difficult patient with nursing students so they could learn bedside manner”
“My parents dared me to eat [a bouillon cube] when I was a kid. Hardest $10 I ever made”
“Dressing up as an oyster” (You may remember the slightly spooky Halifax Oyster fest mascots Pearl and Earl)
Another local celebrity adds, “Having people jump in my car and give me money for drives”.
This might sound like a typical day for a cab or Uber driver but this came from the creator of the current Trailer Park Boys set car, also known as The $***Mobile.
