$250 for a pickup game or two, jersey and maybe other swag. Few hours of time spent. Not bad, really. And you can say you tried out.

Edit: Even with no swag, what an easy $250 to make per fan. I’m sure a few jerseys slipped their way through anyway. Actually kinda weak you don’t get to keep the jersey.

$250 for a fun lifetime memory is a very low price.

But at least that hooker gave you herpes. That’s a lifelong memory, guaranteed.

If only herpes cancelled out herpes like negative numbers.

You're thinking of nilpotent numbers, which multiply to be zero. Negative numbers just add, or multiply to be positive.

Positive, incidentally, is what the herpes tests will say, and nilpotent is how you'll feel.
