Make Money In Your Shorts Using The Yellow Pages

Filed under: productivity tips — rich @ 4:25 pm

Do you Make Money In Your Shorts? I do. I live in a pretty remote area up on top of a big hill with forest all around me. This time of the year I have a nice and cozy wood stove heating the whole house and my office is right next to it.

Most of the time I am on this damn computer 16 to 18 hours a day, every day, and if I didn’t love it I would never work so hard for anyone else.

So I sit here in my shorts much of the time, and I usually cook my meals on the woodstove because I can keep good track of it. I keep the old standby ready reference tool known as the Yellow Pages phone book, right next to my desk.

When lunch or supper is ready, I usually just eat right out of the cooking pan. That’s where the Yellow Pages comes in handy. The Yellow Pages book is a way over two inches thick and no matter how hot the cooking pan is, I can set the pan on the Yellow Pages in my lap and I NEVER burn my nuts!

My point is, Print Is Dead. The Internet has changed everything, in all fields.

Soon there will be no more printed newspapers, unless some of them hold out for the curiosity value. Magazines, City Directories, Catalogs, and yes Phone Books will all be relegated to museum status. Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes said he felt a little sorry for the newspapers demise. Oh well…

There’s not much call for Mule drivers on the Erie Canal lately either.

Oh, and by the way, grab a handful of those Yellow Pages to use as a fire starter when the coals die out. Don’t worry the idiots will probably send you a new one in a couple of months.

You too can Make Money In Your shorts.
