I hear too many people complaining that it's tough to make money with the economy in a deep slump. Well, some very ingenious people. with what could only be described as wacko ideas, have managed to make money, in some cases A LOT of money. I guess it's true that there's a sucker born every minute, because whatever you want to sell, there does seem to be someone in the world crazy enough to buy it. Take a look at some unlikely businesses that have made money 
for the people who founded them. Then ask yourself---why didn't I think of that?

Amazing Butterflies
I'm glad my daughter didn't see this for her upcoming wedding. Picture the bride and groom saying "I do" while your guests release hundreds of butterflies from little boxes. What worries me is that these butterflies are shipped overnight individually wrapped in little triangular boxes. I would imagine they might be pretty hungry by the time they're released. Can't you just see them attacking Aunt Jane's big yellow hat. What fun! But you have to give this entrepreneur credit for creativity. A simple concept has ballooned into all sorts of butterfly-related products.

Lucky Break
This business really proves my point about being able to sell anything. So the story is that this 47-year-old entrepreneur, who was born on Thanksgiving, asked himself a very profound question...why is there only one wishbone at Thanksgiving dinner? I bet you've wondered about that--admit it. I don't know about your family, but mine does not fight over the wishbone. In fact, I can't remember the last time I even saw the wishbone. Apparently, my family is in the minority, though, because this guy created plastic wishbones so everyone could make a wish. And I'm sure that his wish is that this business will pay for his retirement! What do you think?
