Rich
Virgins
I went to the gym that night and ran into an old friend named
Mikey. He was singing to himself, but
loudly enough for me to hear. “The
money’s enormous, or so they inform us, and I know a virgin striking it rich,”
he sang. He saw the puzzled look on my
face and added, “It’s a Warren Buffett song. You should play that song at the
rehab. It kinda ties money to
virtue. He’s a virgin who’s gonna be
rewarded.”
“That’s from Jimmy Buffett,” I said.
“Warren Buffet is an eighty-four year old investor. I think that line is ‘I’ve no aversion to
striking it rich,’” “It’s from a Miller beer commercial. Don’t think it’s appropriate for the rehab.”
“Oh, I was so off base,” Mikey said.
“Still a good message, virtue being rewarded."
“Still a good message,” I agreed, “No matter where you heard it.”
Today I will listen for
the good message.
