An Idea

  • Me: I got an idea yesterday.
  • Friend: Really?
  • Me: Yeah.
  • Friend: So what is it?
  • Me: You know when you don't want to give your credit card number away?
  • Friend: Oh, yeah.
  • Me: You know when you don't want to tell everyone your credit card, even though you are getting money?
  • Friend: Yes!
  • Me: Well, I was just thinking that if there were some kind of service that would give you a credit card number for free... ?
  • Friend: Continue.
  • Me: And at first, the balance would be zero, right?
  • Friend: Yeah.
  • Me: Lets say you wrote an e-book and now you are earning money.
  • Me: Send the money onto that account.
  • Friend: Yes... ?
  • Me: And now its so brilliant, but now you want to buy something on eBay.
  • Me: So you would just give away that credit card number!
  • Friend: COOL!
  • Me: And the whole time, you don't even tell anyone your address. Furthermore, if there is fraud, no worries. Change the number.
  • Friend: I wish some site could do that.
  • Me: Me too.
