Really! Seriously. I am not making this up.
The other day I was reading the recent issue of Bloomberg Businessweek, when I happened upon the following quiz: "Are You the 1 Percent?"
Thinking I would not be anywhere near the One Percent that own everything in this country including me, I took the test. I scored a nine, which surprisingly puts me in with the One Percent.
So excuse me while I roll a fifty dollar bill and smoke it, as I recline on my Barcalounger which is on the deck of my forty-five foot yacht that is docked on the Miami Marina.
Ah yes, my Salvatore Ferrgamo encased feet are resting of the back of one of those Occupy [insert city here] protesters as I watch the sun set behind one of my many condos that make up the Miami Skyline.
Tonight, I will dine on ...
Trudge's nap is disturbed by Mrs. Trudge yelling, "Have you cleaned out the liter box yet? Taken out the trash? And when are you going to start earning some real money? My mother was right. I should have married that guy with the chicken place. Pollo Tropical or something."
Oh well, I guy can dream and drown in a deluge of his own delusional thinking, right?
Back to being a 99%.
Spoiler Alert: the questions and answers are tongue in cheek.

People in the 99% wear Brooks Bros., have money in the market - they even make a million dollars a year. Still don't come close to the wealth of the 1%. Conversely, there are those in the 1% who don't flaunt their weath, are democrats and care about social causes.
Until most people realize they and all their friends and all their relatives are all in the 99% and they will never, ever be in the 1% (even if they combined all their assets) will this start to really have movement and cause change. Right now it's an ideological split where college students say they aren't in the 99%. Yeah and you got that medal in soccer because you showed up, sweetheart. Time to stop deluding yourself as to how special you are.
Nanatehay, get your money out of them ostriches! The real money is in reusable toilet paper. Listen to me!
Chiller, I'm glad I clarified it or you. Now could you explain it to me?
tr ig, that's just how it went down.
