Which Reminds Me

Yes, it is a bit awkward, these dreary people trying to claim me as a dependent of theirs when actually they never did contribute so much as a dime to my financial operations. They only want me to give them something, to enjoy the benefit of having brilliant me around without paying the price. But that wasn't our mission. Perhaps they never really understood what our mission was, on that much we can agree. But it was not our mission to provide them with a free ride to Paradise. They will have to buy their own tickets, needless to say. I can't pay your way to hear the fat lady sing. Each individual has to show their own ticket at the front door.
