on economics: opportunity cost
“Hey Heather, are you on the computer?”
“Yeah.”
“Could you look up and see when that Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader show comes on again and also how much money they make?”
“Yup. I’m on it.”
Just in case you are wondering, Internet, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader show comes on tonight at 7:00 on CMT. And also, they make $50 per game.
Moral: It doesn’t pay to skip dessert so you look all firm and abdominally in your cheerleader getup. Seriously, $50 per game? Pass me the brownies, please.

$50????
Good god. I'll have one of those brownies when you're finished, Heather Anne :-)

REALLY? FIFTY DOLLARS? There must be perks. Someone find the perks. Free medical/dental/401K? Free airfare? Free tans?

Salad, Kerri Anne, the perks is salad. You want one of these brownies?

They really get nothing else out of it, save for $50 per game and the chance to be half naked in a calendar? That's it?

Well I mean you also get a pair of kick ass white boots. But besides that, no, nothing else.

They could never have someone as cute as you on the field, Heather! Nobody would even watch the other cheerleaders!

Haha! I think I'd better stick with the brownies. :)

The real question is whether or not their boob jobs are paid for.
May I have two brownies?
---
Hmm... didn't say anything about that on their web page. I'll take a closer look. And yes, of course, on the two brownies. :)

I am an avid reader of the soon to be over One Child...
That's how I found your site, and I just had to comment here because this is seriously absurd.
This is a prime example of how women still have the short end of the stick, and not in a good way.
By the way, I love your economical way of looking at it. Hilarious!
