In my line of work following and writing about international events and affairs is essential, but to keep things fun, I also create jokes, look at situations from a humors perspective and seek out good creative and funny ideas about our world around us.
Here is an example of an idea to develop: I love to travel, most of us do. And there is so much on offer-tourist agencies will get you to just about any destination. You can even buy yourself an adrenaline rush. Some people throw themselves off planes and others jump off bridges with a rope strapped around their ankles. But what about those travelers that have a burning desire to do some good in the world, help others with exercising their democratic rights. What can an average tourist agency offer those do-gooders? Hm, well, as it turns out, not so much. So it struck me as I contemplated this, there is a whole business niche in tourist travel. Arranged packages to particularly troubled spots that are ‘happening’ – want to protest in Tahrir Square? Want to participate in the overthrow of a dictatorial regime in Syria? Want to help Ukranians fight against a corrupt regime? Call 1-800-rise-up. We will provide you with a complete package: transport and accommodation in close proximity of the action, the package includes all necessary equipment, a facial cover, gas mask and a brand new scratch-free Kevlar helmet. If you have trouble mingling we will provide you with a network of fellow do-gooders on the ground.
