I once worked with a guy who got into Amway. He fell for their sales pitch, hook, line and sinker.
Funny story about him and Amway. He bought some multi-vitamins through them and he brought them into work and he offered me one. I figured sure, its only a vitamin. I hadn't even swallowed the darn thing yet and he asked "So, when are you taking your break so we can sign you up?". I don't doubt that somebody could potentially make some kind of money off of things like this but this guy had no salesmanship at all.
He tried so hard to get me into Amway but I wouldn't sign up. He even told me that I have no future because I wasn't getting involved in Amway. He honestly believed that he was going to be filthy rich from Amway.
I poked so much fun at him about Amway. In the Crash Test Dummies song "Superman Song" there was a line that said "Superman never made any money.." Well that song played and just as they sang that line I said to him "I guess Superman should've joined Amway eh?".
