Does the institute know you are out early?

Just heard a commercial selling the absolute worst thing....EVER! I will not debate this. This is single-handedly the WORST "gift" suggestion I have ever heard. I am literally beside myself. You can buy a star! That's right, for the low, low price of 54 dollars, you can have a star named after you! Oh, be still my heart. I might buy two. And, it will be recorded in the patent office! Oh man, does that ever make it official. I am going to get a star named after me the same day I leave to visit that same star. Memo to world, if anyone ever gives me that as a gift, I will pretend it is cool, but it isn't. I'm sorry. It is lame, and the biggest scam in history.

There is sick. There is ill. Then, there is the flight home from Vegas. Not feeling well today, and the slight chills I was getting reminded me of the last time I was flying home from Vegas. Is there a worse feeling then how you feel trying to get from the hotel to your house? The oxygen high from the casino is starting to wear off. Your body is going through alcohol withdrawl. You haven't eaten, because you woke up about 10 minutes before your flight was scheduled to leave. You feel faint, slogging through the terminal trying not to die before you board the aircraft. I will say this. I would pay to have someone pick me up at the hotel, put me on a stretcher, and take me to the gate for my flight. Meanwhile, I could sleep the whole time. I think this is an idea ahead of its time.

If a guy gets traded for cash, why do we still call it a trade? Isn't that a sale? Aren't you just buying the other person? I thought we stopped doing that. You know, emancipation proclamation and all that?

I saw someone who wrote their name as "John Smith II". Am I wrong, or is that just Junior? Who is so pretentious that they have to put II instead of Jr?

So Im thinking of starting a new business, selling "No Soliciting" signs door to door. Of course, the draw back is, there are no repeat customers....
