Think back.  Maybe you were in college, or even just last week.  What's the weirdest or DUMBEST way you've ever earned some extra cash?  Someone asked Reddit.  Here are the highlights . . .

1.  Selling coworkers clean urine so they could pass a drug test.

2.  Someone let a guy from Craigslist shave their head and film it for $600.  It's not clear if it was a man or a woman.

3.  Quote, "I once got paid $100 to spit a shot of whiskey into a guy's mouth."  We're assuming that one's a woman.

4.  A, quote, "local wannabe mayor" paid someone to vote for him when they were 18.  They didn't care who was mayor, so they took his money.

5.  Played a free mobile app game for a year to level up, and then sold the account for $350.

6.  A guy stole his dad's "Playboy" magazines in middle school, and sold them to other kids for $10 each.  He said he made around $1,000.

7.  Someone got hit by a car when they were 12 . . . took a $20 bribe from the driver to not tell anyone . . . and immediately bought candy.  Their friend who was there also got $20.

8.  As a 10-year-old kid, someone's neighbor paid them to come over and read books to their parrot, because he was depressed.  (???)

9.  Someone claimed that when Samsung's exploding batteries got recalled, they bought 120 of them from people on Craigslist . . . sold them back to Samsung . . . and made $50,000.

10.  Quote, "A guy on the street asked to see my feet."
