I have a few, I will start with my first job. At a kennel, you can pretty much get a dog take any pill if you put it in yogurt.

Whom do I sue?

Here's another.

That commercial that features the head of Blackwater reciting his own Social Security number, secure in the knowledge that he is protected from fraud through whatever service he's pimping? Your local funeral director could fuck that guy up.

You might also want to loosen the strings at the nuts.

you know those short little faux-commercials that air before shows on PBS? those are technically "underwriter credits." the only thing that makes them not a commercial is that there's no specific call to action, which is funny, since most modern commercials at least don't have an explicit call to action in them either.

man, public TV is boooooooring! there aren't a lot of secrets, i guess. that was the only one that came to mind.

I've been told that when PointOfSale(cash registers) are down/offline that department stores pretty much always err on the side of letting the transaction ring through, even for someone filling out a new house card credit application at the register to make the purchase.

So - everyone in charge gets real testy when those systems are down for any length of time, because apparently there is an underground network of fraudsters who communicate to each other and then come out in droves to exploit this temporary weakness.

POS down for a few hours that day? They say there is *always* a HUGE spike in bad credit apps. (i.e. not just a few that would have been otherwise flagged if the systems were up/online)

if you're in the need of some 10w30, and you're short the 150 Neutral Baseoil for it, you can mix 5w20 and 15w40 at equal percentages to produce 10w30. -assuming you have inventory of those other products.

I'd like to get in on this.

Didn't that guy get scammed for ~$500 because of that?
