5. Why does the world think I owe them anything?
What question would you be asking if you were a polar bear?

Our stupid "work ethic" kills. If I was king of the world I'd make it a felony to work more than twenty hours a week.

10. It depends who your friends are.
Or you can brew it yourself to share with friends.

I imagine a guy who brews lots of beer will have lots of friends.

7. The rest of the world does not yet realize my level of awesomeness.
I've been playing modest, ya know, too keep a low profile. I'm actually the most awesome person in the Universe. When word gets out, people will simply pay me to exist. That's all I have to do, people will be willing to pay me millions of dollars just to walk around and live on the Earth. Cause without me, the universe would be a far less awesome place.
