Living The Dream?
Two longtime friends, Jake and Oliver, reunited for lunch after more than twenty years apart.
"How have you been?" Oliver asked.
"I've been good," Jake said, ordering from the menu. "I'm married with two great kids. Work is a bit dull, but it pays the bills. How about you? How have you been?"
Oliver puffed up his chest in pride, "Well, I've been great! I've spent the last twenty years living the dream. Moved out from living with my parents early. I was lucky to be in a privileged position that I didn't need to find work. I've spent most of my time with hobbies like reading and going to the gym. Money hasn't been too much of an issue for me, either. And the action! I wasn't much of a player when I was younger. But I have been getting laid consistently. Every single day."
Jake couldn't help but listen and feel a bit envious about Oliver living the good life for the past 20 years. The two friends parted after lunch.
Later that night, Jake was having dinner with his family when the phone rang.
"Excuse me, is this Jake?" a voice asked.
"Yes, it is. How can I help you?" Jake replied.
"I'm trying to track down Oliver. You're listed as one of his contacts," the voice continued.
"Okay," Jake said, confused. Can I ask who this is?"
The voice answered, "This is Oliver's parole officer."
