She asked."What'd you do today?" He said." Nothing." She said." You couldn't have done 'nothing'; you must've done something. Did you look for a job?" He said." Yes, I did. I looked out the window." She said." don't be funny. You need a job." He said." Tell me something I don't know. I walked down to the corner and hung a sign around my neck. It said, 'Will work for chocolate ice cream.' Nobody hired me." She said." Of course not. What a stupid sign!" He said." You're right. Tomorrow I'll change it to 'vanilla'; That's America's favorite flavor." She said." so, another wasted day. All you did was get a day older. That was your only accomplishment." He said." Better I didn't get a day older. That would really be an accomplishment. If I could do that and bottle it, I Wouldn't need to look for a job."
