I've got the lazy gene

I've known for some time that I had the "thrifty" gene- when deprived of food, my body gets super efficient and doesn't need many calories. It's adaptive for those cold and dark and hungry northern winters, you know.

But now it's clear the Shellabargers have a lazy gene as well! I wonder how often they run together?

Of course, as the last paragraph says, biology is not destiny. That's what makes us human, the ability to rise above genetic coding.
