A number of my friends, (out of curiosity or concern? or are they plain nosey parkers?) used to ask me how I spend my time. Out of their goodness from the bottom of their hearts, they cannot understand how anybody could spend so much time (mostly at home) practically “doing nothing”. I could list out activities, that are useful to the family and house, which take up most of my time. But I do not see the reason nor need to answer all those queries.
Anyway, I called up an old friend to say hello. She is business-minded and very successful in managing her husband’s medical practice, and many other “useful and gainful activities”. She asked me what I have been doing. When I replied my usual “Nothing really”, she began to give me all sorts of advice as to how to make use of my time “working” as she cannot stand a man not working. She suggested, “Why not help your wife in her family’s busy businesses?” Getting tired of this line of questioning,
I replied: “What to do? She won’t let me do what I am good at.”
She replied: “Then you do it yourself”
I said: “Now I know why they call it MASTER BEDROOM”
She did not get it at first and I had to repeat it slowly before she realized what I am getting at. (Sigh)
(In my mind: a man has got to do what a man has got to do: NOTHING!)
Government fed by the people
Career options
I suggest government... because nobody has ever been caught.
