Californians are known for their expensive taste and when mandatory water cutbacks are issued by the local officials because of the droughts in the winter, the state of their grass is just the opposite-looking.

He even employs his own wife who offers advice to the girlfriends and wives of the players.

Trader Joe’s Smuggler

Canada is a home of many things, but the delicious butter cookie isn’t one of them. That’s why Michael Hallatt opened a shop called Pirate Joe’s where you can buy them.

Professional Mermaid

Melissa Dawn decided to cash in the Little Mermaid appeal by becoming a professional mermaid, and for enough money, she’ll perform at your birthday party or corporate event, complete with a clamshell top and a 60lb tail.

After that, Gallardo decided to help more babies and managed to adopt three more since then, all of which she managed to give a funeral and a place to rest in peace.

Psychic For CEOs

San Francisco is the city of many big companies’ headquarters and CEOs often running around scared of how their future enterprises will do. That’s why it’s also the city with the most psychics, all of which are trying to compete for the CEOs to become their customers. The best one of them is named Nicki Bonfilio, an “intuitive counselor” who’s worked for companies like Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft. Apparently Bonfilio is so good she’s able to fight off computer viruses with magic, predict how apps will do on the market and keep hackers at bay.

Rape Admissions Consultant

Hanna Stotland might be the most controversial service provider on this list. She’s the person responsible for helping young men who get kicked out of school for raping women get into good colleges.

Of course, she doesn’t feel at all bad about making a few dollars helping these kids get back into college.

Parasite Provider

Women from around the world fly to his apartment to have sex with him. He does not ask for any money for his services.
