Good Idea!: Man Submits Drawing Of Spider Instead Of Payment For Overdue Account

David Thorne didn't have the $233.95 to pay an overdue account. So what did he do? What any other budding young genius would do, he submitted a picture of a spider he drew instead. Unfortunately, Jane Gilles, wouldn't accept it. So what happened next? I'll give you a hint: time travel! And also, David's account not getting paid.
I do not have any money so am sending you this drawing I did of a spider instead [beyond]

Thanks to Kenny, who knows a good drawing of a ninja turtle can settle any debt.

Pfff, that's not worth 233,95, it only have seven leg... it's abstract, it's worth at least 1000$!

When she sent back the drawing, she said she *copied* and pasted it. That's a violation of copyright. David should demand a settlement in the amount of $233.95

FAKE, shadows are wrong, it is obviously photoshopped.
As it Resembles the movie, never back down where the main character fought against a giant spider and cut it's 8th leg

Sigh. linkjacking at it's finest. and not even a link to my original page. I guess we would not want the web any other way... guess I should have a copyright notice on my... oh wait I do...

By the way, it is 2am here in Australia and I have just finished replying to over a hundred emails about this stupid spider.

Regards, David

Here you go: Now famous spider needs to be copyrighted and patented. The seven legged one should fetch a higher price as original blemishes usually do. Sell said spiders on ebay. Pay your debt to the nice person you owe money to. Easy peasy and should only cost you a few hours (oh, and several hundred for the copyright and patented). If you sell high enough you will cover your costs, pay your debt, and possibly make some beer money.
