I don't know. Maybe they will be delivered late today with the
demand to "Appear" being after 4/16? That would actually be the sneaky way to do it. Have them served when everyone's out of town for a couple of weeks!

16. These people are so fucking lazy.
Working America does 40, 50, 60, even 70 hours a week paying the fucking bills that come due at the end of the month. In many cases, there are no holidays because no work = no revenue to pay the bills.

17. It take a lot of time to be a politician.
Edited on Fri Mar-30-07 10:48 AM by TahitiNut
After all, every breakfast, lunch, and dinner is a "working" meeting with a lobbyist or flesh-peddler. Every golf outing and tennis match is a "working" meeting with a campaign donor. Even the hours spent in the luxury box watching the local sports team means bearing the burden of answering to their sponsors. Those long trips trapped in the cabin of a corporate jet are nothing but work, work, work ... and 12 oz. curls.

Busy people ... it's back-breaking labor shovelling out all those dollars. Not all of them are lucky enough to have fork-lifts and C-130's to carry off billions on wooden pallets.
