Last night, I worked out on the super-cool elliptical trainer for one hour! while Ward watched a Civil War special on the History channel. After boasting about how I had just burned off hundreds of calories, I convinced him that he needed to hop on and do at least 15 minutes. So he does. Only, he puts his beer in the water bottle holder and proceeds to drink his beer while working out. After several minutes, I pressed the "calories burned" button and it shows that he has only burned 42 calories so far. Then he takes a swig of beer. I told him that he just drank 42 calories with his latest swig, and pointed out that he isn't really accomplishing anything.
He replies that he is trying to be "calorie neutral". (like carbon neutral...)

Nice! I love my Dad's sense of humor!
In keeping with the idea, then I guess I could argue that my summer job is making all my shopping trips "finance neutral".
