I like living at the border.

[Dinner]

I went down to the border today to do some shopping at the duty free shops. Sure, you can get slightly better prices by crossing the border but then they limit what you can bring back while at the duty free shops you get prices almost as low as in Mexico but with no Federal or state taxes and you can buy as much as you like. A cartoon of cigarettes (Pall Mall Lights) costs just $12 instead of around $50 after one pays Federal and state taxes, domestic mass market beer (like Coors) is just $12 per case (24 cans) with no CRV due, and Scots Whiskey like Johnny Walker red label is just $14.50 for a standard sized bottle (and not much more for black or gold label). So I went down, had some great Mexican food, and bought lots of high tax items without paying any taxes. Best of all the price listed really is the price with no taxes or charges added on. Border life is good.

I'd never get kidnapped as I'm not stupid. Also I didn't cross the border and instead stayed in the US. Even if you go down to Mexico as long as you have common sense and don't flash cash or expensive things in the wrong part of town then you'll be fine. Also most of the idiots who get mugged get falling down drunk so if you take care and don't act stupid then you'll be fine. It helps if you speak Spanish too.

[Dinner]

Meh, life is short so enjoy things in moderation. You'll likely live just as long but have more fun.

Did you not go to the Mexican border?

Only two people do that:
1) Mexicans
2) Stupid people

How does a cartoon shorten one's life?

Exactly. Warnings by all kinds of agencies to avoid border towns and to stick to resort communities, and even then be aware.

Why am I not surprised that big government-loving liberal Oerdin is a big enough hypocrite to brag about going out of his way to avoid paying taxes?

Taxing entertainment is evil.

[SlowwHand]

Johnny Walker doesn't count as entertainment. Hookers count as entertainment. You don't pay a hooker tax, here or there.
