My plan is to become filthy rich by doing nothing. And then once I am filthy rich, I might look into doing something productive with my life. Maybe.
So, my current habit: Do nothing so I can become filthy rich.
That probably doesn’t make a lot of sense to you, but that’s because you don’t understand one important law of nature. The law I speak of is The Law of Stupidity and Dumbness, or LSD for short. (This is not to be confused with the narcotic LSD, which is actually really healthy in comparison with the law of stupidity and dumbness.)
The LSD states that stupid people think they can sit around and be dumb and that somehow they will become rich and famous by doing so. These people are spurred on by certain celebrities (who will remain nameless) that seem to live and prosper by this law.
In short, the Law of Stupidity and Dumbness is a great way to ruin your life like.
