"I have a question.." Peppermint Patty says. She and Charlie Brown slouch with their heads against either side of the tree.<BR><BR> "What do you think the secret of living is, Chuck?" "The secret of living is to own a convertible and a lake.."<BR><BR> "A convertible and lake?" Peppermint Patty raises her eyebrows.<BR><BR> Peppermint Patty sits up and looks at Charlie Brown, who explains: "If the sun is shining, you can rid around in your convertible and be happy...If it starts to rain, it won't spoil your day because you can just say, 'Oh, well, the rain will fill up my lake!'"<BR><BR> "What do you think the secret of living is, Snoopy?" Peppermint Patty asks Snoopy, who is walking towards them.<BR><BR> SMAK! Snoopy kisses Peppermint Patty.<BR><BR> "A convertible and a lake..I don't know about you, Chuck..." says Peppermint Patty, as she walks off arm-in-arm with Snoopy. Charlie Brown doesn't see them leave, so he continues, "If your lake is drying up, you can say, 'Oh, well, this is nice weather for riding in a convertible.."<BR><BR>
Well, if you own a convertible and lake property, you’re probably loaded (depending on the kind of lake property and the brand of the convertible, of course), so I guess you’ve figured life out.
