This is a great point!
This is why I've never sent a piece of mail since 1997. I sent a payment then and it got lost. If the post office can lose one piece of mail out of the millions it handles every day, we must assume they will always lose every piece of mail.
Also, you're one of the few people who understands that…

Maybe it was Sydney Bristow and that exec was never seen again after that party…?

Having looked at many of these replies, I think far too many people are being way too generous by agreeing with @avclub-6e8fb18f4f5788ce09ff72f8fdd81b4f:disqus in the assumption he made by using the pronoun "she."

That whole escort/party girl profession isn't as classy as it looks or sounds.

@avclub-677bce9f2a360c12cf1bd8d5f140bd62:disqus I can tell you that I haven't gotten a raise since I was hired at my current newspaper six years ago.
Wages do not necessarily go up with inflation….

I lost all interest.

Liked for commitment to the bit.

Y'know, I'm not trying to be a jerk but I don't appreciate jokes like these. I know everyone thinks it's so funny to laugh about attention deficit disorder but I'm going to be honest. I've been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder and maybe I'm taking it a little too personally but I don't think those jokes are…

(As an aside, bad for the people, good for art, apparently. That time period seems…

Someone help me out here:
I watched "Dredd" over the Labor Day weekend (See how I tied it back to the theme…?) Okay, better than the Stallone version but where was the black humor and satire? For the most part, it might as well have been "Die Hard."
Which oddly enough, made me think Bruce Willis might have made a good…

Your MOM didn't think I had a problem sustaining anything!

Yeah, but you would say that anyway, wouldn't you? I mean, being the pope of the whole thing, right?

I thought God - and I'm talking about the real God, of course - hated the Jews. They killed his son, right?

Another con: 9/11 was an inside job by the Jews. Or was it God's punishment for gays? Doesn't seem like it could be both….

I like you. I really, really like you.

Well, except for the earth and sky, right?

You and me both….

It's been years since I've seen "Anchorman." Can someone describe her character/scene?

Buying power goes down. (Simply put, $1 today won't buy what $1 would buy 20 years ago.)
So this person is saying that he or she got paid $10 an hour in 1997 but that would be the equivalent of getting less than $7 an hour today.
