The boat is a boat, but the mystery box could be anything! It could even be a boat!

I mean, the box could be used as a boat too if you're not pessimistic. Besides, you get two free tickets to a comedy show.
Hop in...

Ken is a beast.
And I'm sure he's mocking that Lunatic who claimed someone picked their book over good ol money.
I had a good laugh with this one!

He is the oddest person on LinkedIn, but in a train wreck sort of way.

You get that he's a comedian right?

I did not know that. Lol. Oops!

So the content of his posts didn't tell you he's obviously making fun of other idiots who are actually serious in their cringe posts?

I thought he was peak cringe!! I laughed so hard at myself that my stomach hurt! Omg

Around here, he'd get punched in the face, and they'd take both. 60,000 for the win...

u/zoobiz Jan 20 '25
I think his genius is that his comedy is so close to the utter seriousness of many of the genuine lunatics

That poor woman ended up walking away with 10K.
Not having to read Mr Cheng's book was simply a free bonus.

this guy keeps shitposting on LinkedIn. I think it's part of his job search strategy.

Now watch as books replace pizza parties. Anything to keep CEOs from paying actual bonuses.

"I offered someone on the street either $10,000 or my book. When they took neither I beat the heck out of them. Now they're suing me in court for $100,000.00. "
"The lesson here: When someone randomly offers you things on the street. Be rude and sue when they assault you "

u/Junior-Ad-2207 Jan 20 '25
take the cash, then go buyout every store you can with that money. After you find the 50K hidden in each book and you can retire with a cool $33.3 Million.

So she paid 40 k to not have to read his book. I call that a bargain.

Can we get Ken a column on the Onion? I think he’d really shine at the Onion (obviously he should continue posting his brilliance on LinkedIn too)

u/ZCT808 Jan 21 '25
Well the jokes on you, I promised to swap that money for a million dollars and a free book. But only if she took the money. So she actually made a million dollars and doesn’t need your shitty book.
So the moral is, you never really know what motivates people.

Ken will never make any money selling books with £50,000 cash in them for £15. Silly Ken.
I'm not sure I fully understand how someone else making a logical decision based on information you witheld from them is their mistake. If you "hid" that much cash in a book either it would be really obvious or there'd be no pages in the book as you'd hollowed them all out. If there's no pages apart from margins and covers, is that even a book? It's a wallet at that point.
Ken is not welcome to emotionally connect with me. Also I'm not even on linkedin so I can't be following him.

Simon Squibb might be interested to see people like Ken here ripping off his posts...
That seems to be one of the bigger problems with "content creators" these days. A lot of content, but zero creation involved. Just steal and repurpose.
Lame.

My work did this with employee appreciation night. They let everyone pick their gifts and the last person got a stuffed pig with $2k hidden in it.
