Young Geezer emailed me from his office today, saying his second source of income has been cut off. He even used an exclamation point. I didn't know he even had a second source of income—should I be worried?
When I inquired, he said, "They took the stamp machine out of the copy room. It was a pretty good source of extra cash -- two 42 cent stamps for 75 cents -- 9 cents profit per purchase. Whoo-hoo!"
We had been getting rich, 9 cents at a time, and I didn't even know it. But he had even bigger plans:
He said, "I was going to make a 'How To Become A Millionaire -- In Your Spare Time' infomercial, detailing how to find and exploit small stamp machines like ours."
Poor guy. Perhaps I'll place a cool cloth on his fevered brow and give him some iced tea when he gets home.
