Your parents died when you were just a wee baby, leaving you
with a tremendous inheritance and no living relatives to help you spend
it. Normally you’d have become a ward of
the state, but your parents were crazy investment bankers, fabulously wealthy
and incredibly dumb, so they shrugged off the idea of “big government
intervention” and stipulated in their will that if the government ever tried to
give you help, they’d be retroactively sued and, thanks to some text covertly
inserted into the armistice that ended the Korean War, North Korea would get
all the nukes your family owns.
Which is seven.
So you’ve spent your entire life on the streets, where
lawyers occasionally find you and give you a few hundred dollars so you don’t
starve to death. The end result is that
you’re an incredibly rich wastrel, and today you’re going to meet another
wastrel who wants to be your friend.
This wastrel will be a fifty seven year old man who lost his
mind after he watched his son shoot himself in the head in the kitchen of the
apartment they once shared. This man
will recognize what’s going on, and when your lawyers show up today he’ll talk
to them about how, while wills are important, making mentally healthy youth is
also quite important. He’ll speak
beautifully, bringing tears to the eyes of the hard hearted men who have thrown
money at you from the windows of Mercedes and shot bums who were attempting to
sexually assault you in the head for years.
These men will realize that your blind trust has more than
enough money to buy an apartment for you and your new wastrel friend (who will
insist on being called Alfred by you) to live together. Alfred will teach you how to read, write, and
murder people with your bare hands starting immediately. He’ll also call you Batman all the time.
All things considered, it’ll be slightly less distorted than
the reality you would’ve experienced if you’d been raised by your parents, and
it’s a sight better than fighting rats so that you can finish eating your lamb
gyro. Enjoy your life of comfort and
fighting “crime,” where “crime” actually means Asian people!
Congratulations Incongruously Rich Wastrel!
