h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I get paid for it. I'm the source of most enlightenment, being Buddha's physical incarnation.

I don't think Buddha would accept money for enlightenment.

I do. I give it to the poor.

Then they're not poor, anymore and you don't have anyone to give the money to anymore, so you keep it all to yourself you greedy, non-Buddha-type person, you.

There will always be poor people. When the poor become rich (and have a sustainable income) then I just switch from ex- poor back to poor again.

Ah...Isn't that what Dennis Moore did? I think the redistribution of wealth got tricky, because he had to make sure everyone ended up with the same amount.

Ya think? I dint get any money from him, but I'm not particularly poor. I never have any cash on me. However, some people I know are less well off and always have loads. That must be where their money comes from.

Maybe...Or perhaps their having of money has something to do with your not having any of it.

Maybe. But then, theoretically, I should be poor and them, rich. So I should start getting money again.

Well, I think there's a bit of a backlog. You'll probably start getting your money some time in the next twenty years or so.

I en't giving up my day job.



I don't have a day job.

Well, in that case, it'd be kind of hard to give it up, which is lucky in a way, because not giving them up can be very tricky, sometimes.

I /want/ a day job, I just don't have one. I'll look when I can in... two months and four days.

Oh, that's pretty good...Perhaps you could be a day-counter. Does anyone pay for that?

I doubt it . I'll just have to do something else, like pogo stick testing in a minefield. Or maybe I could be Spinal Tap's new drummer!

Oh, Spinal Tap's drummer! That sounds like a wonderful idea! I hear they've got an opening for a new drummer.

Yeah! I've got drums that go up to 12!

12!? I didn't know they went that high! That's...That's 2 louder!

WHA? SORRY YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP

I SAID..."THAT'S 2 LOUDER!"
