Bad Business Idea #2

(well, actually, I thought it was pretty damned clever, but others assure me it is assinine)

Friends, are you worried about sky-rocketing funeral costs? Worried that you won't be able to afford a reasonable burial plot for yourself and your loved ones?

U-DIG CEMETERY

This revolutionary concept in interment let's you team up with like-minded folks in a way that allows you the dignity of a decent burial for less than one-tenth the cost of commercial operations. Sign up now. You bury the next on the team to pass on, and when you go, someone else on the list will bury you. We operate on an honour system with people who share your values, so you can rest assured that you will truly rest in peace.

Want to start your own U-Dig Cemetery? Its easy! All you need is a few acres of land and a tall hedge. No-one else needs know!

Actually, this has been tried before. In ancient Egypt. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a Pyramid scheme.

I would say that a store that would sell cans of dehydrated water, while very cheap to produce, wouldn't make many sales.
