Working only one day a year? Damn, I want that job badly!

Gotta love a guy who works one day a year.

I didn't know he was a California resident...

Yeah, I agree with Jon's comment: he's probably on Coca-Cola's payroll. Hint to the Coca-Cola company--the Polar Bears are WAY cuter. Go with it.

Not so sure I agree with this. I always figured he was on the same corporate executive compensation plan the Enron boys favoured.

I'm not prejudiced against fat people, but he hibernates way longer than even the laziest polar bear. Enough Krispy Kreme in Kriss Kringle's sleigh already! From a reliable media source, Fox, I hear the only finger he's ever lifted is to flip off slow-working elves.

He gives all of the good people in the world presents. Why shouldn't he get something for it?

No he doesn't, the other eleven months he collects royalties from coca cola.

Hey, cut the fat man some slack! He doesn't collect welfare, just regular salary checks. How long would it take you to visit the 1 billion Christian children, even in a really fast helicopter? Probably about 700 years, right? He does it all in ONE NIGHT. He gets 700 years worth of work done all at once. Rather than get his salary in one lump sum, he has opted for a plan that would allow him to get regular paychecks, which makes it easier to budget month by month. His heating bill alone is around 8000$ / month.
