How about, "What question would actually be worth my shelling out twelve bucks
give or take a penny, and how can I retaliate if I don't like the answer?" Or,
"Why do hot dogs come in packages of 10, and hot dog buns in packages of 8?"

Seriously, though (or at least as seriously as I generally get), this is a
legitimate endeavor, the sum of all bits greatly exceeding the sum of all clues.
Although it's not usually marketed to the unwashed masses like this. That was
inevitable, I s'pose. Sometimes goes under the name "Information Broker".

$1.79 for that one. Dumb looks remain free.
