Danny Donkey's girlfriend was angry. So she gave him an ultimatum. "Here," She said, handing him an envelope. "Write down your passion and slip it in here, and in six weeks we'll open the envelop and see if you've taken any concrete steps towards achieving your passion." So Danny donkey did what she asked. But then did nothing. When the six weeks were up, Danny's girlfriend confronted. Sit on the couch and drink beer. Danny's girlfriend left him anyways. Pig: But he pursued his passion! Rat: Life just isn't fair. Goat: Being lazy is not a passion!

Doing nothing is a luxury very few people can afford to pursue.

Sitting and drinking is multitasking, not lazy. If you made the beer yourself, you earned it.www.byo.com

there are a few people at work, that their passion is to be lazy at work and get paid for it. they are making personal calls all day. socialize with their work friends. eat 1 hour lunches. and complain that they have so much work to do, and not enough time to complete it. so many “smoke” breaks. this is probably why people say the american worker are so lazy and don’t deserve any respect.

Saw it was Danny Donkey and had to sit and savor the anticipation a minute or two before reading the strip. Always so good.

On the Britcom Keeping Up Appearances, a regular character named Onslow has made an art of being a beer-guzzling slacker. Danny Donkey would look up to him.

I wish people would stop being so judgmental about how other people want to spend their lives. If someone doesn’t want to climb mountains and zip line every weekend, who cares? Go outside and do your thing, and leave other people be.

So true. It’s a criminally undervalued art form.

How did I know that was going to be his passion?
