"Dick-idioms" are little philosophical gems I have penned over the years. The numbering sequence is simply my way to identify them. However, this one goes “hand in hand” with #21, which we posted yesterday. Both are parodies of lessons my father taught, many years ago.
*“DICK-IDIOM #20”* *LIFE’S LESSONS* REMUNERATION *“You often get paid* *according to your* *performance…..* *If your work is half assed,,,,* *expect to get paid* *accordingly.”* Copyright © 2011 Richard Lee King.
