WHITE GULLIBON
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who seldom sees the evil that runs amok, because there is no evil that you can see. Family and friends often hit you up for loans. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time strolling around a discount warehouse buying club looking to buy either a New York Yankees baseball cap or a solid oak entertainment center. Be on the lookout for deranged pelicans. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter I, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 516005. Your preferred shopping venue is television shopping channels. Your special symbol is the minus sign (-).
Is this You?
As a White Gullibon, you are extremely trusting but somewhat impressionable, seeing only the good in other people. You tend to be a bit naive in the wily ways of the marketplace and thus are often exploited by others, especially the Reg Aggressorine. Like it or not, you are the poster child for the phrase "let the buyer beware." You are empathetic to the plight of others, often to your own detriment.
This isn't me! What am I?

Stealing A Few Moments For CRIMELike most consumers, workers, and taxpayers, I engage in market exchanges for a lot of stuff -- food, labor, shelter, entertainment, confectionery products. But as I wandered through the peaceful community of Shady Valley, U. S. of A., I entered a "market" that I would have rather avoided. That's right, as the title indicates, I exchange some crime. I was mugged -- relieved of several valuable possessions -- right in front of the Shady Valley police station. I did the selling and my mugger did the "buying." While my part in the exchange was involuntary, the mugger's part was quite voluntary. In fact, the perpetrator of this crime acted much like any consumer headed to Natural Ned's Nursery and Garden Center in search of a creeping juniper. Let's see why?
