The New York Times just made me an offer

[Johnny Dangerously]

Home delivery for $2.99 a week. Should I take it?

 

[fmrsped]

How many hours do you think it will take you to do the job?

I mean, at that starting salary, you'll already be way under minimum wage, but at least you can put on your resume that you delivered the NYT.

I don't know, FMR, it's a bit of a risk. I mean, gas in NYC can't be cheap.
Plus have a McDonald's smell in your car from all the travel is one thing. But newsprint, too?
As the super fan from Varsity Blues would say: "Nah, nah, no good."

At least by specializing on the distribution side, you won't have to be associated with their questionable journalistic practices.

What happened to your billboard there, Freelance? Looks like Wesley Woodyard got hold of it, rolled over it and pulled on it.

Boy, they must be losing employees left and right. I also got that same offer this week. We could carpool and not waste gas and mileage.

Can you pass the drug test?

 

[Johnny Dangerously]

Can you pass the drug test?

Yes, but how I survived the background check I have no idea.

I went to the University of Maryland and they stopped making similar offers to anyone with Maryland on their resume.

Actually, it's a remnant from the Ron Cooper days. It was beaten badly quite often in 96 and 97.

Isn't that one of the old signs right off I-65 near downtown?

 

[Freelance Hack]

I thought it was a sign that used to be on Third Street near Eastern Parkway. Could be wrong, though.

Do you already have a satchel to deliver the goods or will the Sulzbergers provide you with one?
