Every day, at 2 pm, I buy a Pepsi. And right now, I'm looking at all of those empty cans, lined up on the windowsill, 5 cents apiece, and I'm wondering, Is that enough to retire? Can I buy an island in the South Pacific with that many cans? Can I tell all of these ungrateful shits I work with that they can kiss my ass, that I'm going to Hawaii to eat roasted pig and drink colorful cocktails with umbrellas in them until my body collapses from terminal relaxation?

I'm returning those cans tonight. Don't expect me next week.
