smart dad

yeah, my step-dad got my mom a vacuum one year, and I imagine it went over about as well as this guy’s mother’s day did.

There are some things that, if you’re going to buy them for another person, really need to be given a just for fun gifts, not tied to a holiday.

Oh yeah, as a weight-loss tool, I’m sure it would be very helpful to her. But yeah, not on mother’s day!

I love to bake, so kitchen appliances are great for me too. And if he’d told me she was like, a body builder or a marathon runner or something, I would have been behind him (the scale had all sorts of stuff for tracking muscle mass and such). But nope, just a wife who’d mentioned getting back in shape to him.

I don’t even feel bad. I worked so hard to convince him it was a bad idea. If he wants to go ahead with it after that, everything that follows is on him.

I was working at a popular electronics store when a customer came in to buy his wife a really fancy scale for mother’s day. I couldn’t talk him out of it. He just kept telling me “she’s been feeling really out of shape lately, and this will be great to help her get back on track”

Hahaha, not to my knowledge, I was just trying to think of the whitest dance I could

So I wear skirts or dresses every single day. I have for almost 6 years now, and I recently had to wear pants to work for safety reasons, and it meant going to the store to buy a pair of pants, because I don’t even own them any more. That being said.

Oh, I agree that it’s an ongoing problem. But that comment, I’m pretty sure, was a specific reference to Cam Newton.

Its a snarky reference to the way people have been talking about the quarter back of the Panthers, who’s black, and does end zone dances (just like a zillion white quarter backs) but because he’s dabbing (and is black) instead of doing, I don’t know, the mashed potato or something, people are making it into a respect…

That’s a good point, I wasn’t really thinking about the specific charges. Either way, he probably needs a good accountant for the future so he can feel better about turning down future attempts at extortion from scummy IRS agents.

haha, I saw that you edited as I was writing my comment! Sorry, I look super condescending now.

well, but do we really think it was a million in back taxes? I assumed the 290,000 was the only accurate number, and the IRS agent just told him that it had originally been a million to give himself leverage to ask for a bribe.

I think that million is referring to the tax debt that the auditor told the dispensary owner that he owed. So the auditor told the dispensary owner “you owed a million, but I brought it down to 290,000. As a thank you, you should give me 20,000" and then he used that 20 grand to pay off his student loan debt

Oh god, I had to read this about 4 times before I realized that the IRS agent was making the dispensary owner pay off the IRS agent’s student loans. I was reading it that the IRS agent made the dispensary owner pay off his own student loans, and I could not, for the life of me, figure out why he would care.

oh my god. This is the cutest thing, and should absolutely be the takeaway from that performance.

I’ve had zero side effects. It’s seriously the greatest thing I’ve ever done

The model all the way on the left is missing a leg. Glad to know we’ve had photoshop disasters for a long long time.

I wish I did. Highlighting names in different colors helped a bit. Names are a huge issue for me, especially if two characters have names that start with the same letter.
