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.

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.
