Why bother?

There's two, and only two, reasons for doing something:

1. It's fun
2. It's an investment for something in the future that will be fun

If it's neither of those then, really, find something else to do!

If you're being paid then at least that can be an investment: we work today so we have a roof over our head tomorrow. But if your job is really that bad then there is bound to be something else you can do!

Investment corollary:

1. Learning stuff is an investment in the future
2. Asking questions is the first step of learning
   

Squawk

I seem to be going out with someone who's a bit Catholic, so we don't talk about religion very much... But she just sent me this joke :-)

A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, "Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, but they only know how to say one thing.

"What do they say?" the priest inquired.

"They say, "Hi,we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?'"

"That's obscene!" the priest exclaimed, then he thought for a moment.

"You know," he said, "I may have a solution to your problem. I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible. Bring your two Parrots over to my house, and we'll put them in the cage with Francis and Pete. My parrots can teach your parrots to praise and worship, and your parrots are sure to stop saying that phrase in no time."

"Thank you," the woman responded, "this may very well be the solution."

The next day, she brought her female parrots to the priest's house. As he ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage holding Rosary beads and praying. Impressed, she walked over and placed her parrots in with them.....

After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison: "Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?"

There was stunned silence.

Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other male Parrot and exclaimed, "Put the beads away, Frank. Our prayers have been answered."
