4. All-occasion cards, door-to-door. My opening line:
"You wouldn't want to buy some all-occasion cards, would you?"

13. All occasion? Do you have a "congratulations on your colonoscopy" card?
I have a friend who could really use one.

17 years later; they could only use the right arm because the vein in the left wasn't prominent enough to poke. I loved the "specials" they had where if you came in on certain days they's pay you and extra 5-10 bucks; that saved me more than once..

12. Used Textbooks
I sold them on the internet. They were exactly as described.

But still --> subjecting a human being to those obnoxious textbooks is unfortunate. :(
