Tear a card, any card.

I almost skipped today's blog simply because the surf's been flat all week and I'm burnt out. Then, as I was surfing the internets, I discovered this:So that made me feel like a putz. If Jed Johnson has the can-do-attitude to not only rip a deck of cards in half, but then write an entire book about it, the least I can do is churn out one more blog entry before the weekend.

I haven't read Jed's succinctly-titled Card Tearing Ebook, mostly because I prefer my decks of cards in one piece -- 52 pieces, technically -- however, I do love this advertisement. My favorite part comes down at the bottom when he lists all the bonuses you get with the book:
I'd love to know how Jed came up with those financial equivalents. Why is the "Savage Grip" worth exactly 97¢ more than the interview, yet unworthy of punctuation?

Anyway, sorry to go all Andy Rooney on ya. I do admire Jed for reaching out to what could possibly be the world's smallest niche market. If any of you get the book and learn how to rip your cards in half, send me a photo and I'll post them here. But before that, say a prayer for me that Jed has a sense of humor. I'm fairly certain he'll find this post and if it does not amuse, he could use me as an example in his follow-up volume, The Smart-Ass Blogger Tearing Ebook.

  1. I want to know how you even found this book. Of course I think I need to buy it, too.

  2. If you have the money to spend, I suggest you get the cool skateboarding pants instead. Or better still, get them for me. It's almost Christmas.
