The Free WSO 5 Minute Guide to Life

I am not a fan of TV, especially not Parks and Rec, but this was emailed to me and I found it to be quite entertaining and somewhat applicable since people here are always discussing different ways to measure one's success or happiness in life...here's one more measuring stick.

And now, the highlight reel:

"CAPITALISM: God's way of determining who is smart, and who is poor."

"HANDSHAKES: Firm. Dry. Solid. 3 Seconds."

"GROOMING: Only women shave below the neck."
