8) Jeff is single, lonely, and desperate (insert your own Tinder-related joke here...). He is invited to his friend Ricardo's wedding.

So, Jeff offers another professor at ISU $550 to attend the wedding with him and pretend to be dating. The other professor accepts. They attend the event together.
