Guidelines:

  1. Follow the Code of Conduct

  2. Do NOT report posts YOU don't consider creepy

  3. Strictly Wikipedia submissions only

  4. Please follow the post naming convention: Wikipedia Article Title - Short Synopsis

  5. Tick the NSFW box for submissions with inappropriate thumbnails.

  6. Please refrain from any offensive language/profanities in the posts titles, unless necessary (e.g. it's in the original article's title).

Mandatory:

If you didn't find an article "creepy," you must announce it in the thread so everyone will know that you didn't find it creepy

You can tell that this joke is old because they think that $1000 is be a lot. Nowadays, with how much inflation we've had, I would want at least $500

I first heard that one in the 80s, when I was in high school. I thought about making it more, but that's how I heard it, so that's how I'll tell it. :)
