So true.

Last year I went out with a woman who mentioned to her sister that I trained a lot and that I raced bikes.

[Sister] "That's interesting. Does it pay well?"
[Me] "I'm lucky to win some beer money here and there."
[Sister] "So you spend all of these hours training and you actually pay...not get paid...to race?"
[Me] "Yup."
[Sister] "Well that's dumb."
