Hypothetically ... I May Become The Anti-Christ Of SAG-AFTRA

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hypothectically,
my name is 
JOHN LOVZIT
and my profession
is making people laugh

My credentials
—hypothetically unlinkable—
are too numerous
to have any truck with
humility

However,
at this time
I need to speak
in percentages

I have more wealth 
than 89.3 percent
of American citizens

Presently,
I can be seen on TV
—Monday through Friday—
and the show's name 
rhymes with
"Money You Should Task"
and the show is produced by
one of my best friends
whose code name is
"Bryan Allen"
 
He has more money 
than 96.3 percent
of Amercan citizens
BUT
he has earned every penny
beginning with being
the youngest stand-up comic
to appear on 
The Tonight Show
with Johnny Carson
 
When I appeared 
on that show,
I was a pathological liar
—an undeniable comedic fact—
but Oliverio is too chickenshit
to provide any 
hyperlinks
on this page
 
Anyone who successfully
makes a living 
in telling jokes
is said to be
"naturally funny"
 
But the amount 
of hard work
required to reach
that status
is immeasureable
as was the rejection
of bad jokes told
—or jokes told badly—
 
On average,
we are wealthier than
81.6 percent
of the general population
 
If people like Bryan Allen
make more money
from our humor
than we do
It is none 
of our damn business
to deny them
 
In other words,
the SAG-AFTRA unions
demanding more money
need to be content
with what
they already have
 
Which is
—on average—
higher than 
80.6 percent 
of the general population
 
Most of whom 
work at jobs
significantly less satisfying
than anything
to do with
show business
