I propose new wealth rules

From another thread:
***i have a right to opinion, i most likely pay more revenue each year than you all,***
You PAY more revenue than the rest of us? I'm sorry to hear that because the name of the game is KEEPING revenue, not paying it. :p
Still, after reading that I suddenly saw the light. I propose we all create new rules based on wealth. This could be fun - I hope we all play and enjoy it.
Rule #1:
You cannot have ANY opinions if you earn less than $30,000
Rule #2:
If you earn between $30,000 and $40,000 then you can have an opinion and you can express it, but only in public bathrooms.
Rule #3:
If you earn over $40,000 then you can express your opinion publicly, but only between the hours of midnight and 6am.
Rule #4:
If you earn less than $30,000 then you cannot have any pets larger than a gerbil. If you earn less than $20,000 then you cannot have any pets with fur.
Rule #5:
If you earn less than $50,000 then you cannot eat 7 days a week. You must skip one day per $10,000 that you fall below this figure - and that is after taxes and other deductions which reduce your taxable income.
Rule #6:
If you earn less than $35,000 then you cannot operate any vehicle with an engine. You are allowed to have a car, but it must be of the "Fred Flintstone" variety.
Any others?

Letha :wah: Too funny!
But, since you have admitted to breaking the rules, we must hereby impose a cruel and unusual punishment on you.
(Ahem) You are hereby restricted to a diet of curds and whey (whatever the heck that is) for the 3 days per week you are allowed to eat. Unfortunately, due to a wild rebellion in a distant Chinese province (the citizens are demanding running water, can you imagine?!), we have imposed sanctions. No curds and whey are being exported until further notice.
The court would ask how you feel about that, but clearly you are not entitled to an opinion so on your behalf we can only say that it sucks to be you.
Ok, don't hit me, I'm just playing! Letha, nice to see you again.

If you let milk go off so that it separates, that is an approximation of curds & whey (but not too palatable).

Little bit of history.
Little miss Muffet was a real girl, Patience Muffet whose father was Dr Thomas Muffet.
He was an English doctor in the 17th century who believed that eating spiders whole would cure ailments ( come a long way thankfuly!!).
Curds are the lumpy bits & whey the milky part of seperated milk, and was the old term for Cottage Cheese.
people used to put vanilla essence in the curds to make it more palatable to children.
Here endeth the first lesson.

I don't mind being confined to the bathroom as long as I don't have to use the TP with the little splinters in it. That would be grounds for revolution. That is if I can afford the bullets.
