There’s a social network out there by the dubious name of Affluence.org. There are two ways that you can become a full-fledged member. One is to send them proof of your net worth. The other . . . wait for it . . . is to get five other people to join.

Now think about it. If five people sign up, your financial position doesn’t even enter into it. So why is it called Affluence? Is this just Another Fine Mess, or something much worse?
