 Due in large part to rising energy costs,
thousands of entrepreneurs are now on strike until management is
willing to pay them higher wages. Economists indicate that the
situation is so difficult that no progress can be made; a deadlock
or a stalemate exists where entrepreneurs and the self-employed who
work for them have reached an impasse in the negotiations.
 "We're calling this the 'cul-de-sac syndrome' where the work
force can see no way out; there's no fork-in-the-road for these
self-styled would-be do-it-yourselfers," explained Jack Horner, the
Good Humor Man on the corner. Unlike their early predecessors who
worked their butts off toward success, today’s new age entrepreneurs
are a bit lazier, which is contributing to their reclining posture.
"Laid-back" appears to be the *new* black haute vogue and modus
operandi. People in this lazy new age niche provide products and
services a little differently, choosing ideas that help them feel
better about themselves. If it makes them feel good, they go with
it, and sometimes even make business decisions strictly by gazing at
their navels. Many would rather blog than jog. Consequently the
consumer can expect shocking cut-backs from the line crossers with
the scabs. Consider the following examples:
 The Drill Doctor
will no longer certify if your do-it-yourself lobotomy is working...
you'll have to figure that one out on your own. At the Happy &
Noble Books-A-selling, you must now find and checkout self-help
books on your own.
At Jim’s Take and Bake Pizza they’ll put the
 pizza together for
you, but you’ll have to cook it yourself. There’s free pick-up, but
delivery cost extra. The Spaghetti Hammock company will still
provide you with quality netting, but not knotts. At the Men's
Early Detection Prostate Institute and Clothing Warehouse... guess
what? The Mr. In-mouth Toaster will no longer accept bagels. The
Flexible Sigmoidoscopier will no longer bend just on your whim.
And last but not least: If you're going to use your full-body
interactive virtual reality porn suit, now you'll need to clean it
yourself. Yes it IS a lazy new world. Just you TRY and go where no
man has ever gone before...
