Or like a personal pen.

Yep, people steal two dollars worth of hot sauce, so they’ll steal salt shakers or stainless steel cutlery, anything pocket-sized. From all the video we see of social animals using deception, it’s safe to assume that humans have a deception gene, a propensity to steal. So reduce the impulse/opportunity in others to…

When I was a kid, our local hardware store kept bulk nails and bolts and fasteners in big opaque candy bins, they’d have a sample item and written description (3" galvanized roofing) taped on the front of the bin, and you’d reach in through the opening and grab a half dozen or two handfuls or whatever, put them in a…

I look at it the other way. When the Republicans say they want to reduce government spending and want to slash costs and cut your taxes and reduce bloat and the numbers of fatcat government workers, this is where it leads, cost-cutting and short-staffing and undertrained unmotivated poor workers. You get what you pay…

“Seconded!...”

I’m thinking he’s more of an Andre Reed.

If it slides off accidentally, do you keep pounding the rock or does she blow the play dead?

Even Al Toon winces at that post.
