Inventors always seem to give the same advice: come up with a good idea, and a way to sell it, and you'll be filthy rich. I'm not sure this guy actually invented anything, but it's sure an interesting way to make money. About $70 will get you one breakup message, delivered, so you don't have to. And, if you're classy enough to do the dumping in person, Bernd Dressler will coach you on how to do it. He averages about three minutes per break-up, so he must be a pro at the drive-by dumping. (His services also include advice on how to save your relationship, though if that doesn't work he can handle the breakup, too.) Anyway, it seems to me that if Bernd can make money by delivering breakups, you can make money handling all kinds of desperate news for people... from "you're fired!" to "get out of my house!" to "Sorry, I ran over your dog." (Or, more personally, "Neal, I lost the scripts for today's show!") What other bad news would you pay to have delivered?
