Oh I know already, I had a friend who was a pharm rep for a while. That doesn’t really explain the direct payouts, though - one of the comments downthread mentioned the difference between 100k and lunch. That breakdown across companies/products/numbers of doctors would be pretty interesting.

In my dreams, the new paintjob would be like the Trump baby balloon. Like one of those WWII fighter jets with the shark face on the nose, only a whole lot more orange and and petulant - screaming endlessly into the wind.

Tell me more! This tattoo sounds so fantastic.

While I love the metaphor attempt, that’s a total insult to selkies, who are basically just doing the mythological “seals turning into humans and then back again” thing and most of the time are human only because some jerk literally coerces them.

I get that.

Now I know which movie to avoid like the plague.
