Start Planning Now For Next Year's Summer Vacation

There was an incident in Arizona last week that made a light bulb go off in my head. It made me realize that there is big money to be made by offering people the opportunity to take part in activities that they wouldn't normally be able to do. For instance, I'd like to start a business where ordinary people could stop by while on vacation and take part in tearing down buildings. I would set it up in Detroit where there are a ton of places that need to be torn down. Besides the money I would make from tearing down dilapidated buildings, I'd make a good buck from Joe Six-pack and his brood as they pass through town. You want to swing a wrecking ball? Get on up in that crane and start mowing down those slums, no experience needed. Pay me, let's say $100 a swing, and you too can be like Miley Cyrus. Just listen to the instructor shouting to you through a bull-horn, and let fly. Think of how much your kids will love you when you let them sit up in that crane and yank on those levers. In fact the kids should get a bonus swing with the wrecking ball if they manage to smash down a wall without killing somebody. And it needn't be limited to a wrecking ball. Some buildings lend themselves to be taken down by well placed dynamite. For a thousand dollars I'd let mom, dad, and the kids place explosives where they'd like to see the most destruction, and then when the instructor feels it is okay, little Johnny or Joanie can push down on the plunger. Just like in the Road Runner cartoon.

I have another idea that just floated up. Say you are traveling through Indiana and dad wants to stop and see the famous Brickyard where they run the Indianapolis 500. The kids start whining that they don't want to stop. They want to hurry up and get to the lake, they want to go swimming. Once they realize that they're going to be able to drive an Indy car around the track, all by themselves, they will quickly change their tune. Yes, for the right price I'd let anybody who can move their arms and legs drive an Indy car around the track, a little more if they are quadriplegics (You'd need a special car, hence the higher price). Just imagine the joy of your nine year old baby girl at the controls of a 700 horsepower, 200mph Indy car. When the instructor waves that green flag and the kid stomps on the accelerator, think about all the joy that child is experiencing. Honestly, what could possibly go wrong?
