Description:

There is a book and it is yellow. The cover has random words and pictures on it. It is called "THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE" and it has 365 weird things to do. Each day you are supposed to do one of thse very strange things and in the end, you change your life. These things range from counting your farts during a day, flip people off all day, try a new sandwich, stalk people, etc. It's hilarious. So I wanted to start a series of swaps involving people doing really weird things.

For example, in this swap I'm stealing my favourite thing from that book.

Here is what you will do:

  1. As you drive to school/work/your everyday shopping, count the number of cop cars you see. (If you live in a country or state where cops do not drive cars or something like that, count something equally random and plentiful in your area like mail trucks or humvees or school buses)

  2. Add 14

  3. Divide by 4

  4. Buy that many candy bars

  5. Hand those candy bars out to random people. These can be coworkers, family members, friends, neighbors, cashier clerks, mailmen, people you don't know....

  6. Write down the exact words that they say

  7. Write each thing they say down on individual pieces of paper.

  8. Put each of those pieces of paper into an envelope with your return address on it along with a dollar (or your nation's equivilant... a low-amount paper money in your currency)

  9. Pick random addresses out of the phonebook and mail those pieces of paper to those people

  10. See what happens.

  11. (added because this is a swap) Write your partners a two page (at least) letter explaining your adventures with this swap. Make sure to include how many cop cars you saw, who you handed the candybars out to, and what their responses were. If anything happens and you receive any responses back, tell your partners about that as well.

No newbies because in previous swaps I hosted, I've had trouble with them. Sorry. Everyone with 4.6 or higher is allowed, everyone with lower is not allowed. If you've received an unfair rating or something like that, let me know and I'll consider each on an individual basis. I'll check all profiles and ban people who scare me. International allowed!! :D

Have fun!!

Wow, this sounds like a funny thing to do. I should have done this during the G8 summit, there were so many police cars that it was difficult to count them all :-D

Hahaha but then you would've had to spend like 9 zillion dollars on candy bars!!!!

This sounds like a ton of fun. It's probably for the best though cuz I live in Los Angeles. I'd have to mail out a billion dollars! :-) I'm gonna go look for that book.
