    Genes for Jeans Day

    Genes for Jeans Day
    This Friday, and client co is going along with this nonsense. Paddy will be wearing a suit and tie.
    Q. What does the Genes for Jeans charity do?
    A. FA. They collect money and then take a percentage for administration and then donate to other charities. They do not do any charity work directly.
    Q. What percentage goes on administration?
    A. Well, Genes for Jeans won’t reveal that but there is office space, overheads salary, cars, conferences and advertising to pay for.
    Q. What happens to my £2 donation?
    A. Genes for Jeans takes their cut. What’s left over is donated to related charities in the UK or abroad. That 2nd charity will take their cut and will eventually be spent on anything from advertising to research. Paddy’s gestimate (based on other charities) is less than 10p
    I call it a scam.

      An inyeresting take on charity I wad told by a friend.

      His works with a buy who refuses to give to charity for the resons you mention. Instead whenever he travels to a word world country wbar he does is this - finds a well deserving individual who has an interesting story to tell and has performed some favours for him.

      He was in Cambodia last year. His Wickshore driver was saving up to study to be an accountant. He didn't have his own motor - he was renting it and that meant he didn't get to save anything. So, he went to an ATM, withdrew 500 quid or so and but the little guy a motor.

        I always wear jeans to work on a Friday.

        But tomorrow I've got my graduation so will be dressing up as Harry Potter (with a nice dress underneath).

          Maybe if you fix his computer for him he'll buy you a grammar and spelling checker.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
