gurf.com - humor - In The Mind

     This morning Janet called, “Howdy.”
    “Hi Coobear. What’s happening?”
    “Heard finances were getting tight at gurf.com Inc. Don’t your dots have any com left in them?”
    “Poverty’s all in the mind. Look at the saints. Weren’t they the richest people of all time? When they weren’t being fondued, that is.”
    “Can you pay bills with your mind?”
    “With proper attitude the money appears.”
    “Thought about a job?”
    “A paycheck would help, but I just don’t have time for employment. I like to create things, and when I’m not doing that the women in my life need attention. Not enough hours as it is.”
    “How do you attract so many women with so little to offer?”
    “Little in dollars but moocho of everything else— time and TLC, plus of course my irresistible sense of humor. Shows the quality of the modern woman too, that romance weighs more than gold.”
    “Can’t knock us modern women.”
    “Knock, no. Paddle, yes. But only when you require it.”
    “When you feel like it, you mean.”
    “That’s when you require it.”
    “By the way, just where are your corporate offices anyway?”
    “I’m not incorporated. I manage my conglomerate part-time from the computer in Dad’s small office, down in his basement. Surrounded by all his books on how to preach a sermon.”
    “A preacher’s son. That explains everything.”
    “Just a lay preacher. He’s semi-retired from sales work.”
    “The same thing. But am I hearing you right in saying that you don’t even have your own Internet connection?”
    “Or halfway up-to-date computer. You are right, things are tight.”
    “Could I help loosen them up?”
    “How soon can you be over?”
    “Last year.”
    “Huh?”
    “Your mind can make it happen.”
