Not a single time

It occurred to me this afternoon that, in forty years of working life, as a therapist, as a pastor, as a politician, not one time have I ever met someone, or known someone, who I thought would rather have an unemployment check than a job.

That is rather remarkable.  You would think that there would be a certain negligible percentage of people who, indeed, might prefer to take unemployment than work.  Maybe there are, but in forty years of knowing hundreds of families, the vast majority quite well, I have never seen one instance.
