Going into the Credit Business

Thanks to carbon credits, I now see a whole new line of business to open. And, the best thing is, I can do it from here.

I figure to start with just a few and then branch out.

1. Adultery credits. These will be hot sellers, here. Everytime you want to cheat on your spouse, just contact us and we will hook you up. We will send a representative to your house in order to explain to your spouse that while you may be cheating, your purchase of offsets mitigates the act. A percentage of our profits will go to marriage counselors worldwide who are active in the study of alternatives to adultery.

2. Alcohol credits. Every time you get real drunk and do something stupid, your alcohol offsets will be used to clear the air with your boss, spouse or the poor bartender who you beat to a pulp. A percentage of the profits will make its way to alternatives to AA.

3. Flatulence credits. Ever just want to rip one off in public? Now is your chance. These credits will render you blameless for any foul stench you leave in your wake. A portion of profits will go to gastric research.


These are the offerings for our first foray into the credits business. For more info, drop me a PM.

...because the lack of credits has really been holding you back on the flatulence front, right?

You can send some of that flatulence credit money my way.

I've never suffered from flatulence in my whole life.

My wife says that I should use the money for a new hearing aid.

Ah, but has anyone else suffered from your flatulence?

You are talking about the idiot protestors behind the chainlink fences, right?

I was saddened when when the Republicans chose our towns. All the wingnuts will be out in force, just like 2004, in New York. Will there be 1800 arrests in St. Paul, as well?

I was at the RNC in NY. We countered the protestors, friendly peace protestors...I think not. Got it all on video.

Smoking meat while relaxing with an adult beverage can leave no carbon foot print!

Especially after you consume the evidence!

Here at PdS Overindulgence Credit, we don't believe that the BBQing of brisket is a sin. No credit necessary, my friend.

As an update, we have added new NCAA Office Pool Credits to our product line. In this case, if you have no chance of winning, you can put your teams back into the pool for others to use and recoup your money. After a small commission, that is.
