Kickass, the doorstop dog, notes that the keeper, like all peasants is fascinated by the regular reports listing the richest people in the state, Wisconsin, the current tally showing Diane Hendricks of ABC Building, Judy Faulkner of EPIC and John Menard as top “richest.”
It warms the keeper’s heart to realize that he and Phyllis have participated in making these three the richest by having a roof over their heads, being subjects of medical message transmissions and needing various forms of paper products such as toilet paper.
As contributors, they expect nothing in return from the “richest” and, of course, that is what they will get, beyond John Menard’s occasional “11 percent off on everything.”
While “the richest” listing is interesting those who compile such info might better delve into “the poorest” or “the dumbest,” or maybe even those who are the deepest in debt, lists the keeper might have a shot at making..
As a side note it was reported that Elon Musk is the richest person in the world with $839 billion. The keeper told Phyllis he would not trade places with Musk since he did not want to go to Mars but preferred staying on Earth with her. She sighed and brought him another cup of coffee.
