Every single person has something that they find difficult to do. For some it’s picking out an outfit, for others it’s going to the gym; for some it’s something common like deciding what to do, and for some it can be a little bit more uncommon…even strange.
I will speak about an anonymous person who can sometimes be very entertaining. Maybe I’ve even made this person up in my mind purely for my own entertainment. Maybe yours? Personally I think there should be a television program (fictional of course) about this man I’ve created. Maybe he should be a she? Anyway, let’s see what this person (let’s stick to he) got up to today…
When you have difficulty in spending money, your world can become quite a challenge to yourself. If you are a millionaire, too frightened to even spend one penny of it on something decent (and instead buying used “crap”) then your life becomes entertaining.
Let’s pretend this millionaire is a businessman, and a bit on the older side. The issue you might encounter is that your shirts starts wearing through at the elbow because of sitting at your desk the whole day. Also keep in mind that your shirts are now 20 years old (yes, you are very proud of this fact) and you would prefer NOT to buy new ones. Ever. So the usual fix for this has been to turn your long sleeve shirts into short sleeve shirts and wear them another 20 years, but what would you wear in the winter if all your shirts are now summer shirts?
Solution: buy yourself a bright, purple coloured elbow guard to wear over your shirt sleeve. Just the one, the other one will be ok, you just won’t lean on that elbow.
Oops, now you find that you’ve lost mobility in that arm. Solution: take a blunt pair of scissors, and cut the top end of it open. Not all the way, leave about 2cm on each edge to keep it in place.
Now, eventually you will find that the elbow guard might start wearing through… Panic sets in as you have a vision of the guard wearing through all the way in about 30 years’ time, and your shirts getting damaged all over again. Solution: take a dishwashing sponge (the kind with the rough patch on the one side), take a stapler, and staple the sponge to the elbow guard, rough side facing outward.
Now you (and your shirts) can finally sleep at night.
…but you look ridiculous!
