Boys have inherent value, not just instrumental value. Cute post.
Hey speak for yourself!
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.
You would have to pay me, and even then...
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.
Well are the girls going to mow the lawn or do they just stand there like idiots?
Girls have inherent value, not just instrumental value. Cute comment.
