Writing jokes for money - Part 1

A few years back, I was a nerd sitting in my mom's basement chatting online with other nerds sitting in their respective basements. I was told to get a life and a real job.

Even people who have very little or no interaction on the net now think it's pretty cool when I tell them that my computer feeds me.

Course there's a relative aspect to all this - Compared to a Google employee who works from home, I'm trailer trash. Anyway, what I'm trying to say here is that it is no longer a risk to base one's career on trying to earn money online. Hold on, hold on...Don't quit the day job just yet. I didn't mean it literally. Just a manner of speaking...
