>If he sleeps 7 hours a night, he makes $52,000 every night while visions of

>If he goes to see a movie, it'll cost him $7.00, but he'll make $18,550

>If he decides to have a 5 minute egg, he'll make $618 while boiling it.
>
>He makes $7,415/hr more than minimum wage.
>
>He'll make $3,710 while watching each episode of Friends.

>If he wanted to save up for a new Acura NSX ($90,000) it would take him a
