      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

      • The most noble profession is the guy who makes my sandwiches. That guy!
        Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

                • Proctologists spend most of their time in other people's bottoms. I guess that's probably a fairly big sacrifice, so respect to them.

                  Granted there might be a portion of proctologists for whom this is no sacrifice and they'd actually be rather disappointed if they couldn't do that, but that shouldn't detract from the nobility of the whole (of the hole?).

                  • Couldn't you also consider them to be **** disturbers?

                    Just asking.

                              I think it's hilarious that so much anger is directed at them when the worst thing people can say about them is that the world came to a halt when they were unable to provide the level of service everybody else had come to expect from them.

                              • While I agree that they were pretty much taking advantage of the system that was given to them, that doesn't really excuse unethical behavior. Legally there's little that can be done (as we saw with bailout bonuses), but people still have the right to be pissed. The day we lose our angry mobs will be the true end of America.
