According to my dad, when I was just 10 years old and he was trying to get me to help with some household chore, I (allegedly) told him: “Father, I was not put on this earth for manual labor.”

Now I’m not sure I trust my father’s recollections, but if it’s true all I can say is that I came to the right place. Massachusetts is a great place to live - unless you have to work for a living.
