A few weeks ago, I saw some cute little stickers that made a bit of a phallic joke of light switches. Fun things, I thought, and checked on the net to see if I could buy a few. Well, a few PayPal dollars later, I got my order confirmation and promptly forgot about them.

 

They arrived a few days ago. I opened the envelope, threw away the 20 or so pages of promotional crap encouraging me to buy more stuff, found the stickers and immediately threw them out, too. They were junk. They didn't fit on a light switch cover. They were just stickers with a picture of the light switch that had that on it. Stupid and misleading.

 

Now, if I had been smart, I would've just accepted that small loss and gotten on with my life. Not being so smart, I thought to myself that it would be trivial to get these things made, and if they sold for a few dollars plus some handling charge, there might be a bit of a cottage industry in them. It was an eBay business waiting to happen. I printed out a picture and took it to a few local printing places. One, a place that I've dealt with many times in the past, said "sure we can make these".

 

So now, a week later, I have 60 stickers of little male figures that fit on light switch covers. Will I ever sell them on eBay? Probably not, but if eSecureData.com ever dies, it's nice to have a backup plan.
