People are mostly monsters of selfishness and egotism and vanity. It’s nice to be poking fun at them, giving them different shapes and fates other than what they like to be famous for.
If you are hatching something illegal, or at least mildly bohemian, like smuggling yourself out of unpaid rent, or giving your landlord a to-your-face shot for getting a crush on you, or dumping your luggage in your brother’s house for your sister-in-law to see to while you gad about planning lesbian conventions and cultural productions sans funding and sans bus fare money, surely, your making-both-ends-meet friends and poorer relations – no matter how iconoclastic or subversive they think of themselves theoretically – are the last persons you can discuss life with, much less map out escape routes with. Right?
Right. Better hire your landlord’s househelp, instead.
