The Fanatical Addict

Her husband told her
that her get up and go
must have gotten up and left,
because his wife spent most of her time
watching tv or being on the internet,
saying she never got any exercise,
she replied "yes I do, I'm always
"surfing" the channels or going
on "safaris" on the net!"
he said "honey, at least go outside
and walk somewhere with our pet!,"
"alright", she replied with a tone of resent,
taking the dog and walking to her favorite spot,
she climbs in the hammock
and pops open her laptop.

Good one, Cheryl. Your humor chops are in excellent working condition I'll give you that. Wonderfully funny and so spot on w/life's little foibles. Good write, dear lady. Much love to you and yours.

Hmmmmm I know a few people like that. Their fingers get more excercise than any other part of their body. Teens are especially bad about this. Great write my friend. God Bless, JB

See, here you are investing all your time in sociality, which is no threat at all to your love for growing capital. In fact, you probably like investing your capital in the health and joy and beauty of your family and friends; more or less my definition of a healthy capitalist co-operator.
