For $1,000 bucks you can call me slurs for 8-hours straight.

That's $125/hr. That's a hell of a lot more than I get paid, but at least I get breaks. And most of the time I'm not called slurs.

I can multitask. Get called slurs while I'm working and make an extra $1000/day.

Why should only the beautiful people (apologies for quoting Marilyn Manson) get paid, anyway? They're already skating through life because they won the genetics lottery, so they don't need the money like the ugly people do.

A thousand bucks? No, sorry, but I do have other things that could help. Holes that could be filled in your life.

Well, I keep trying to get people to pour habanero juice on themselves before blocking my windpipe, but no one wants to try it. Something about sensitive skin.

But that's not a sick burn right back in their mean faces to show them you don't even care what they think and that you can't even help that it's like that.

Sure. Not my fault that that person cannot appreciate true beauty. If they even want to pay for that lack of understanding, by all means, be my guest.

I'd take the $1000 and then pay someone $100 to tell me I'm beautiful.

Without any hesitation.

I had long hair (blonde, very thick and curly) in my late teens. Back then men with long hair were pretty rare outside the larger cities, so I usually got a large variety of insults nearly every time I went to countryside.

Sometimes people would throw money at my feet and yelled "Go to a barber, freak!" I always thanked them out loud and then I picked the money up.

Free money is always nice.

People throwing money at you because you have long hair seems somewhat unbelievable just saying

Nowadays, definitely.

But a few decades ago in my backwater country this was reality. It happened to me twice on different regions and one of my friends who also had long hair told me it had also happened to him. I only got pocket change, but still enough to buy a can of beer ;)

At the time we deduced that there had to have been some broadcast TV show which had given them this bizarre idea, since widespread Internet access was years away at the time.

But as if this was not enough, the wierdest heckling I got was when I walking the dog with my girlfriend and a group of guys about our age passed us and called us "fucking gay". My girlfriend was feminine, pretty and I was very far from both.

It was a very, very strange time.

I always wonder about casting calls for acting when they're looking for someone who is ugly or otherwise unsightly. Like, what's kind of paper trail do they have on that?

Yeah! Is it like "there is a character that is so ugly they are always sad and kill themselves and you seem perfect for that role!"?
