I was just reading this book on how to run a mail order business, not because I plan to, but just cause it seemed like a pretty interesting book, it's a bit old. So anyway, the guy writes in it something to the effect of (and I'm totally paraphrasing here): "Hey retired people, you can run a mail order business too. And because it's on your own time, you can do it for a bit before lunch and then eat and take a nap and then do some more after lunch. And if it's too much phsyical work for you, get a younger, stronger person to help!".
I totally loved this because he's trying to be all friendly and everything but then is totally saying "...oh and since your tired old withering body can't handle the stress of opening a few letters now and then...", so good. Like it would only be better if he added "and best of all: you can watch Matlock while you work and you're never too far from the washroom you incontinent old fogies!". Oh and the saddest part though was that after I realized that doing a little work and then napping and watching Matlock was pretty much my dream life. Oops!
