"Business" Card

Title: John & Ray - "We do Stuff!"

Ray and I had a lot of pointless/ridiculous/funny only to us ideas back in the day. I could probably leave that one sentence as the only commentary for this post (and many others), but I'll include some other possibly related words and phrases that might give some more insight into this particular assault on sensibility.
I really don't remember the original event/idea that really led to the creation of these things. I know that we had talked about how cool it would be to rent a store at the mall and then have absolutely nothing in it except us sitting behind a folding table. People would be baffled by this and come in and ask questions, namely "what do you do?"
The answer was, of course, "Stuff."
We kinda wanted to do odd jobs and find things for people, you know, weird, unique, hard to find items that require much driving around to out of the way locations.
Renting a space at The Parks Mall was very cost prohibitive so instead, we decided to get these made. One thousand of them.
We stuck a few up on post boards and left 'em lying around here and there.... maybe used a few as a pathetic way to meet girls, because what says "I'm dateable" like a mysterious business card with only a phone number and two first names.
I still have a box of probably 800 or so left over.
