Toilets are super important, especially when you can't find one!

@wjglenn: It exists, mostly. It's called a bidet.

And once again I'm reminded how the Matrix got it right, with those insectoid robots and squidees. Robotics favors fuction over form over function always - if it's not functional, there's no point to the form. Kinda highlights our uniqueness on earth; the only evolutionary offshoot capable of creating, understanding…

I recently worked at a company (day job) that is downsizing due to the recession. They laid off 300 workers, moved production facilites outside the U.S. and so on. In that same time, the top 3% got raises. They hired 10 new VP's, for international sales, new smaller branch companies they were bringing into the fold…

@TVs_Frank: Two men wait for an elevator in a swanky hotel - one Brit, one Yank.

@SynthOno: Dang it, stole my line.

@alliebeau: Thanks for this. I kinda wish this was done by Jez in the main article; although I understood the issue, but seeing it back and forth like this eally drives the point home!

Lol I laughed all the way thru this post and the comments! Thanks Jezzies! :)

@Treeless: that's a great story! Lol

@Adam: true but that doesn't impact me too much and the city isn't all that big! It's hard to remember that all of Boston downtown fits into central park in nyc; when things are running smoothly, it never takes me very long to get anywhere. And from what my friends say, service is on par with any other major metro.

@TheFormerJuneBronson: That's cause both those things are like 90% oil! o_O

I stopped patronizing target after working for them. I worked overnights; did you know that at 2:30 in the morning as you're stickering overpriced dvd's you need to have a visible smile on your face at all times? I got reprimanded for "looking tired" and a little disheveled at 3 am.

Boy, this hits home.

No Bugles love? They sit on your finger like a little hat!

@ryusage: I love smart people. Thanks! :D (ps, I was kidding bout the gig - but I never thought it'd be 54 TB'S! Yeesh!)

@Ccomfort: Dang. It was a cover of Palin's Going Rogue.

@Ccomfort: Better or worse than this fiction writer?

@jbaranski: Um yeah, but.... no. I get it, but still didn't work very well, for the slogan. Who cares though, it was cool. :)

@mikeness: Apparently. :-/

@JakeMG: Ω Man: Just do what I do: drink in bed.
