The Partridge Family -- why has this never occurred to me before?

          The other day I was watching 'The Partridge Family'. The plot was that Keith needed $2 to go on a date, so he borrowed it from Danny and became his indentured slave servant for the rest of the episode. Eventually, Shirley made what was treated as an obvious suggestion -- "Why don't you do what teenagers do? GET A JOB!" Of course, this lead to Keith comically fouling up a series of jobs like plumbing, door to door sales and housecleaning.
           Why has this never occurred to me before? When Shirley asked, "Why don't you do what teenagers do? GET A JOB!" He should have said, "I have a job! I wrote our hit! I wrote our first album and now I'm writing our second album! We do a live concert every week! I'm our lead singer! I'm one of the major male sex symbols of the decade and it's only 1972! Dammit, I'm going over to Ruben Kinkaid's place and demand my two dollars!

Hey, I'm always cutting edge -- what will I riff on next time? Larry Storch? ' Love American Style'?  The awfulness of Elvis Presley movies? Stay tuned! And BUY my Kozmo of the Cosmos book at Amazon.com. Just search Kronlage!
