Lucky Me. Free Money!

I got in early to office this morning. As I step in to my department, something familiar and tempting on the floor caught my attention…

As I walk towards my cubicle, I saw some notes lying on the floor near my desk.

Wow! 3 pieces of RM50 notes.

Since I’m the earliest and no one is around. Without any hesitation, I quickly pick it up.

… NOT! The ‘Free Money’ happens to be a cleverly disguised advertising and marketing tool … business card of Ah Long!

Front a distance, the business cards look like some half folded RM50 note on one side. When I turn it over, that’s when I was dumbfounded. THIS IS SUCH A BRILLIANT IDEA!

Of course, this was staged for my blogging pleasure. I actually found the ‘notes’ back at home on the table lying there for days. My elder brother felt for it thinking that he was so lucky to pick up some free money on the street side. He took it back and left it there to fool the next victim. I must admit that this is a very clever trick. I almost got fool by it if it wasn’t for the few suspicious looking clues (hint 1, 2, 3 and 4).

I brought it over to office to pull a quick one on my colleagues. What I did was, I left the notes lying on the floor just right beside my cubicle. I will call out for anyone who steps in into my department to come towards my cubicle. So far, two person felt for it and we had a good laugh.

So it wasn’t such a lucky day after all but who cares. I had fun!

    I don’t think it bothers them. Simply using FIFA 2006 World Cup logo on any printed material is illegal if it’s not affiliated with FIFA. Sadly, they dare to do it.
