I got an idea on how you guys can get the money. After you've spent those untold billions to Lockheed-Martin on all your war bullshit, turn around and point your new Lockheed-Martin weapons at the company and get your money back. This is fool proof and I think you should give me 10% for giving you this brilliant idea. Happy to help!

Here's what's hosed up boys. People always complain about walmart doing the under 40 hours thing to not have to pay out benefits. But have any of you smug bastards look at "entry level" federal jobs lately? Same poo poo

For real though. Look at the US forest service or the USPS.

Oh, put that thing away, Samurai. We all know what's going to happen. You'll swing your sword, I'll fly away, and probably say something like, "I'll be back, Samurai!" And then I'll flutter over the horizon and we probably won't see each for... about a week. And then we'll do the same thing again.
i accepted the fact i will be poor and eating dog food when i am old
