If you have a job say where you work, what you do at work, and how much do you make. If you do something like cut the lawn in front of your house for $10 a week thats ok to. So how do you make your money?

The government also pays me to not farm alfalfa. Its really hard though. Every morning I have to wake up at the crack of noon and make sure no alfalfa grows. It helps that I live in the middle of a city, but every now and then my neighbor tries to grow something. I have to poison her garden just in case she tries to grow alfalfa and the government thinks I did it. Its better to be safe.


I just got a job in microbiology a few minutes ago, as well as a masters degree. Maybe I could kill all of the alfalfa in the state with some bacteriums. For a modest fee, of course.

I make 50k a year.

Well, that's very thoughtful of you, Orion! But I think that if the governemnt found out that you were the one not growing alfalfa, I would get in trouble. I'm the one who's supposed to not grow alfalfa. Hmmm... maybe if you carried around a potted alfalfa plant...
This will take some planning.

Is it worth losing your job?

No, I'll steal an alfalfa farm, and say I grow it, but give you the bacterium.

I got a job at a company, which pays me a sum of money for my services. While working, I am engaged in activities, and while not working, I am still engaged in activities...

For cereal, though, I make $23 an hour (just got a promotion last week) working as a Java/C/C++/C# Programs Manager.

No no, orion would carry the plant. That way, when the government agents ask him if he isn't growing alfalfa, he could just point to the plant.

Steal a farm? That's more ridiculous than a rhinoceros. It would hardly fit into a getaway car. And anyway, I don't think that poisoning my entire state would be such a good idea. If you did that, wouldn't everyone in my state be able to get government money for not growing alfalfa? And I don't have the time right now to deal with competition. My friend, Joe, gets paid by the government to not grow corn, and he got the swine flu last week (he also gets paid to not raise pigs). So now I have to cover for him and not grow corn or raise pigs while not growing alfalfa. Do you have any idea how hard it is to not do three things at once? I'm only one person; I can only not do so much.

And yet somehow you still seem to find the time to purchase four cent plumb tomatoes for five cents in order to make a three and a half cent profit. You never cease to amaze (and confuse) me.

Well, I was trained by the great Milo Minderbinder, the Mayor of Palermo and Caliph of Baghdad.

No, not particularly. Also, I'm not so sure that chocolate you gave us last night is agreeing with me. What exactly did you put in it?

Well, If you count doing good in school and getting cash from my parents for getting high grades, then i guess that's how i earn my money... But no, I don't really have a job... Plus no lawns really need any trimming in the Philippines.
