You reap what you sow, Menard.
I want you to stop it right now.
Stop using metaphors that imply that Freeman Menard actually did work and now is facing the results of that work. He has never sown anything in his life. Instead he sneaks off to reap tiny amounts of what other people have sown.
A better metaphor is a field mouse who has sneaked into a barn, tasted some grain, and then returned to tell the mice that he knows the magic words to make the farmer deliver the grain to any mouse that wants it. "if I wanted to, I could have the farmer deliver 8 million ounces of grain to me - just like that [sound of little mouse fingers snapping]. I just don't happen to want 8 million ounces of grain right now; but if you give me 5 ounces of grain, I'll tell you exactly what to say to the farmer."
