Hey, it's a living

Beat me, beat me!

Well, it sure beats collecting unemployment, eh??

Hong Kong - A 28-year-old man in western China is making a living as a "human punchbag", charging stressed-out people 50 yuan ($6) to beat him up, a news report said on Friday.

The man targets people in bars and discos in Chengdu, Sichuan province, and gives them two minutes in which to rain punches and kicks on him in return for his fee, the South China Morning Post reported.

The newspaper quoted him saying he was providing a valuable service to those suffering from tension and work-related pressure.

Of course, the pay isn't great- nor are the benefits- but he does get to set his own schedule, and he's developing a regular clientele. I just love a free market economy, don't you??
