The Selectric was a fine machine, and an amazing piece of technology. I can still hear its clattering song and see its tireless type ball magically twisting and turning. Seriously, anybody who typed for a living on a manual knew the agony of those cuts that opened up under the nail after hours of pounding. You had no…

You’ll have to try harder than that Ahmed

The biggest risk to your safety on Emirates is finding out that the only episode of Top Gear they have on their entertainment system is the Indian special.

It’s a lump of coal carved into the shape of a lump of shit

I’ll be that inevitable guy, this is a stormtrooper, not a clone trooper. All clones became stormtroopers, but not all stormtroopers are clones.
