The dump hath a wallet at its back
Design project: a series of purses, wallets, handbags, "tote" bags, usw. constructed out of soiled newspapers, soggy cardboard, used foil and plastic wrap, the plastic rings holding six-packs together, and the like, all emblazoned discreetly (if there be such a thing as discreet emblazoning) with the slogan "who steals my purse steals trash".
I figure one could ask about $500 a pop for them, more for the ones that are more shabbily constructed. ("So could I, and so could any man, but will they pay, what you do ask?" Bah!)

Oh sure, like any man would carry a bag that called itself a "purse."

Shut up! My purse was made of used billboard material and I paid $30 for it. I hate you.

Great, so I'll sell 'em to women.
Also, my dad has a man-purse.

Since I assume my comment was inspiration, I'll expect 10%.

Actually inspiration was a drunken rejoinder to a friend in which I accused him of slandering me and misremembered the quotation. But, speaking of:
But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him And makes me poor indeed.
My good name makes me poor indeed?

No, dork. He that filches, robs me (of that which not enriches him) and makes me poor.

Well obviously.

The problem noted above is basically your classic shift/reduce conflict.
