"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

For that kind of dough, I can live with the stigma
$173,000 in overtime? What the...??? $109,000 a year comes out to $9083. per month. I'd put away the metal detector for half of that. He says he hasn't had a raise in 16 years. Well pal, I got my hours cut after 10 years on the job. My boss did it while he was pool side in San Diego. But at least I have a job...so far. These large settlements are why cities go broke.
OT: The government is offering cell phones and minutes to anyone enrolled in certain programs, like food stamps, SS Supplemental, etc.
"Taxation is brutal," he said, adding that he would have done better if the money had been parceled out from 2002 to 2008, the period the settlement covers.
The irony of this: the guy likely votes a straight Democratic ticket.
"First, address the ball."
ReplyDelete"Hello, ball!"
"WILL YOU KNOCK IT OFF?"

They're broadcasting The President's Speech live in Australia.
Why?
10 years plus 3 days ago, I remember another President's speech which we listened to with bated breath. That was an important speech. Not this time.
Bruce: They're broadcasting the thing in Australia?!? Maybe it was Julia's idea. You know, sort of, "if you think you've got it bad..."
ReplyDeletemojo: I remember that scene. Hilarious!
ReplyDeletePretty sure Abbott and Costello had that same routine, and probably earlier than the Honeymooners.
