How can I make money this summer??? And “get a job” isn’t a valid response.

Dear J.Q. Monkey:

This is one question that I’m sure millions of people would like to have an answer for. It’s not an easy question to answer. However, the Great Wimble is here for that.

In order to answer this question, we must first determine what you mean by a “job”. It’s difficult to determine what is a job, and what isn’t a job. To make the decision easier, I’m going to define “job” as something that involves work. That eliminates quite a few possibilities. Selling drugs involves work. You could sell yourself on the streets, but yet that involves work too. You could start your own Internet business, but that involves work as well. Hmm, I’m almost out of ideas here.

OH WAIT!!! I’ve got one more!

There is only one real way to make money, and not have to get a job. Here’s how it works:

The first thing you do, is get out of bed. Then, you hop in your car, drive to Grandma’s house, and say “Grammy, I love you, do you realize how much I love you? I love you SOOO much, that I decided I’m going to spend the rest of the summer with you.” Then, after she agrees that it’s going to be a great idea, you move in. Then, as time goes by, she begins to realize that it wasn’t the best idea. Why? Because ever since you moved in, you began being as annoying as possible. Then, after a month or so, a week if you’re lucky, she’ll be more than happy to pay you to leave her alone for the rest of the summer.

Obviously you could substitute Grandma for any other rich (or semi-rich) relative that you have.

Hope that works out for ya J.Q. Have a great summer!
