Will Kiss For Money

Not to be crass or anything, but I think you could really make a lot of money with a kissing booth. According to tradition, kissing booths are only found in carnivals, but I suspect they never existed at all, and are just a cultural reaction to Lil' Abner. If they did exist, you might expect to find them in Branson, Missouri.

Nevertheless, I think if you swallowed your pride and set up a genuine kissing booth in Washington Square Park, charging two or three dollars a kiss, you'd make money hand over fist. With a wry modern gloss, in a city of hip but lonely young people, a kissing booth would fill a real need. Prostitutes aren't cool. A kissing booth would allow you to both take part in Americana and touch someone, while remaining ironic and detached. And of course, it's all legal.

But there are perverts out there, and America is losing its innocence. You'd better have a pimp.
