Boys have inherent value, not just instrumental value. Cute post.

So will they just stand around displaying their inherit value, or providing instrumental value equal to that of a delicious milkshake?

I could teach you, but I’d have to charge.

Or, you know, it’s a reference to a song by Kelis.

Edit: That led me to this instrumental mix of the song, which would be a pretty awesome dance track on its own.

I was focused on the information the referencer added. The song makes no mention of labor or idiots. The tweeting author’s message is that there is a distinct value difference in laborers and idiots. Please excuse me, I took it too personally, because I am not only a laborer and an idiot, but I am also boy who is predisposed to an attraction to yards containing milkshakes. 🥤

The joke, and I can’t believe I have to explain it to you, is that if her milkshake brings the boys to the yard, they better make it worth making a milkshake.

If the song lyric was “my milkshake brings the girls to the yard,” the joke would be exactly the same.
