What can I say that will get him to share his money with me?

My nerdy brother has a great job, earns lots of money, and has a large amount of savings. I am unemployed and in debt. He has long accused me of being a lazy good-for-noth’n alcoholic gambler.
While what he says is mostly true I feel that as my brother he is morally obligated to help me financially through any rough times. I ask him to give me money but he refuses!
What can I say that will get him to share his money with me? Please advise ASAP because my friends have planned a shoe-shopping weekend to New York and I’d really like to go.
I’m sorry, but you blew it! Your brother is not obligated to do a thing! Your situation should be a lesson for all pathetic siblings out there!
There are no such things a brotherly, or sisterly love — or family unity and pride… The one and only thing that really brings families and sibling together is called blackmail! Unless you “have something” on your brother, you will not a get a penny from him.
However, it’s never too late to start… but the best thing would have been if you had started building up folders on family members as soon as you learned to write!
As you are obviously hopelessly lost, I will venture to guess that you have never had any Jehovah’s Witnesses at your door? Next time they come by your door, ask them for what they call “sibling related pamphlets” — it’s a code word for the best blackmailing tricks devised by man! It’s truly evil stuff, but it works!
Quit your whining and get to work!
