This happened last year, but a pharmacist was arrested for selling vaccination cards on e-Bay. For $10.

According to Salary.com, a Chicago pharmacist makes a median salary of $150 K a year.

This guy risked his career and prison for $10 a card.
And he did so on one of the largest commerce sites on the internet.

Nah. That guy in the buffalo horn costume was way dumber than this.

Yeah, I can see that.

It's just that this pharmacist ended selling 13 of those cards. For a grand total of $130. If paid hourly, he would've made more than that in just two hours of work.

But yeah, I have to agree with you. That Viking guy or whatever the hell he was takes the top spot.

Similar to the village idiot except
