Hey, It Worked For Karyn

According to the National Debt Clock as of today we, the people, owe $8,372,249,065,040.67. This breaks down to $28,009.18 for every man, woman, and child in the U.S. of A, or about the price of a loaded Honda Accord.
Personally, I'd be willing to cut a check in exchange for the U.S. agreeing to take a personal finance-management course,* but after that I don't want to hear shit- your are cut off.

Where I'm Talking To A Friend of Mine (Who Often Crashes Her 2004 Mini-Cooper Into Things) and Crack A Joke Which She Totally Does Not Get (or) What's Love Got To Do With It?

Me- That's a pretty nice car, crash it into anything lately?

She- No, but it is pretty nice. I love it.

Me- If you love it so much why do you keep hitting things with it? You love that car like Ike loves Tina.

She- I don't get it.

Two Signs That Our Substitute Dialect Teacher Has Gone Native

1.

He- إنت عندك رفيجة؟ (So do you have a girlfriend?)

Me- لا، بس خلال هاي راس السنة الاخر تعهدت لنفسي رح اصيد النسوان (No, but I made a New Year's Resolution to chase more tail.)

He- Don't chase it, replace it.


2.

He- چلاق (chalaq)... Do you want me to explain it the broken-english way or the Brooklyn way?

We- The Brooklyn way.

He- It's basically where my foot has a meeting with your ass.

But You Can't Buy The Satisfaction of a Job Well Done




Four plugs, three hours; there's a reason we pay people to do this shit. I also changed my oil and took care of a few minor repair projects 'round the old homestead.

I'm feeling quite manly right now.
