Greyskull Industries

Across the street from FalStaff is Greyskull Industries. I'll write more about Greyskull at some later date, but the pseudonym should give you an idea of what I think of them. But Greyskull is one of the bigwigs of this town and so it was a surprise to see him make the announcement of the younger Fallon's resignation.

But then we found out why. Greyskull is starting another venture. You pay $10 a month for scented soap. It's more than you would otherwise pay, but the trick is that if you convince someone else to pay $10 a month in soap, you get $2 of that. Convince six people to and you're turning a profit. Then, if they convince someone else to, you get $.50 of each of theirs. So if all six convince six more, you're getting an additional $18.

From what I understand, prosecutors call this sort of thing a pyramid scheme. <wiseass> The federal government, though, calls it "Social Security."</wiseass>
