Isn't Capitalism Fun?


This past weekend, whilst walking his favorite pup, Duderino overheard perhaps the perfect summation of American society today (well maybe not today specifically, but you get the idea).

A child of 7 or 8 said to his father, "Dad, let's go buy something."

If that isn't an illustration of quintessential American capitalism, Duderino doesn't know what is.

And maybe, just maybe Duderino was a little jealous. Because when he has a child of 7 or 8, he won't be in any financial position to entertain that sort of request. Thank you, law school loans.

Happy Wednesday. I urge you to be very dude today.

If i have kids and one of them asks that I'm going to take their video games (and put them in my room).

Duderino particularly enjoyed the part where you said IF you have kids...priceless...

I don't have any student loans, and I assure that I won't be entertaining such things when I have a child of my own.
God will have cursed the day that I have progeny.

This sounds like the perfect setup for a father-son trip to a brothel.
