(and for the nonAmerican readers, a 401K is a retirement plan - I'm not exactly sure why, maybe $401,000 is the magic number you need to have before you can click through the turnstyle of the magical roundabout that is retirement).
Remember the Three US Dollars Each Feijoa Incident? Well the last trip back to New Zealand was during feijoa season (yes, it has it's own season) and there were more feijoas than you could shake a stick at (and not just any small twig either, I'm talking a decent spur-away-a-bear size stick). Don't believe me? I knew you wouldn't, so I prepared some supporting photographic evidence. May it please the court, I present.... Exhibit A:
An orchestrated feast of tender green tastiness. And much like the Tui bird, I gorged myself on feijoa until I couldn't physically walk, my mind bouncing off the walls of my skull in a vain effort to escape, not so much enjoying as enduring the fruit sugar rush.
So anyway, after the sugar rush died down and the feijoas were digested to a point where I could walk again, it struck me that I was staring down the barrel of a lot of Three US Dollars. Or, down the barrels of a lot of three dollars. Whichever makes the most sense in your mind. At any rate it's irrelevant as to whether it's one barrel or a lot of barrels, that's not the point. No my point is, somehow, I need to get those feijoas from there to here at no expense so I have a zero cost and 100% profit, so I can retire when I hit 401 Thousand (hopefully that's not an age level).
So my question to you is, would you like to buy some organically grown 100% natural feijoas? They're only $3.25* each (come on, a girl's gotta count inflation, what, you want me to go backwards???).
Felyne's Feijoa Farm. 100% Grown.
*Feijoas will be mailed in a standard envelope from New Zealand at some point in the future which has not as yet been determined. Please add $4.95 per feijoa for postage.







Shall I send you a Feijoa tree?

I have never had one before. I'd buy one!
Do I get a groupie discount? (if Taubin can do it, so can I? :p)
