How To Get Rich - And A Girlfriend

MY THREE SONS, VOL. 4

JONAS: Nick, when you grow up, do you want to be a billionaire or a worker at Skate World?

NICK: Well, you have to work to get a lot of money. So, I'll work at Skate World and save money, then get a better job to become a billionaire.

J: You only have to work if you get married. I don't want to get married.

N: Not now, because we're kids. But maybe when we're older, like Kevin - he wants a girlfriend.

J: He had one, but she broke up with him. I wonder why Kevin doesn't want a job.

N: Yeah, he could be earning money.

J: He should get a job. Maybe then, he would get a girlfriend.

Haylie stole my line, but not that I am bitter or anything.

Also, my 22 yr-old brother has been making similar claims about jobs=gf for years. I think he really means it. 'cept he is half way to becoming the 40 yr-old never been kissed virgin.

If you work all the time, then you never have time to spend the money you make on said girlfriend. To spend time with said girlfriend, you'll have to quit your job. Once you do that you'll run out of money, have to get another job (inturn not spending time with girlfriend). It's a nasty cycle. I think in this case the math form of 2 negatives making a positive don't work.

Does the type of job you have corrolate to the kind of mate (yes I said mate) you get? Like if you worked at Taco Bell, would you have to marry a manager at a Mexican Resturant... Or what if you worked at THE PEACE CORPS? would have to marry someone with dread locks and a lot of armpit hair?
