Yesterday, I was sitting at my desk as I heard my mom call my name. It was an angry call, and I didn't understand what I could have possibly done to upset her.
As I walked downstairs into the living room, my father was standing strongly with a red face, and my mother was just sitting, with her head tilted downwards, and cut coupons in her hands.
My father started barking at me, along with my mom. "Why did you cut the coupons?," "Samir [who is my brother] was selling them to fundraise with the university wrestling team," and about a million other things. My answers? I was bored, and never in my life had I seen somebody selling coupons to raise funds for anything. I've seen bake sales, I've seen door-to-door chocolate sales, I've seen begging, and I've seen money pledges and donation boxes, but never in my life had I seen anyone selling coupons. Have you?
So anyway, as my dad was in his pit of rage, he yelled to me that I owed them something like $20, because each coupon set (a set was a sheet of paper) which I ruined cost $10 each. $10 for a piece of paper! Rediculous!
What are some of the strange forms of fundraising that you've witnessed?

I've seen people sell coupons. At my school we're doing fundraising for our Europe trip in March and one of the fundraisers was to sell Entertainment books which are a book of coupons that you can use for various attractions, restaurants, stores, etc. We also do pizza fundraisers.. =P.. I cant wait for that trip.
Yea, but ONE SHEET OF COUPONS? I could possibly understand coupon books, but one sheet? Gahhh
Oh, the Entertainment Books are seriously the most stupid thing EVER invented.
