Most people assume I'm a stoner, and, while I'm all for personal liberty and all, I've been employed by the government, either military, contractor, or civil service, since 1982, and Uncle Sam tests me regularly to make sure I'm not having too much fun.

If the food is bad, most people don't tip... yet the server doesn't prepare the food.

In virtually every restaurant wait staff are expected to share their tips with the cooks and the host/hostess.

10% would be enough IF they DID get paid real minimum wage.

Here is a random thought for you. " Guard Rail Damage Ahead" Exactly what am I suppose to do with that info. I mean do you speed up and hit it, hey it was already damaged. Get out and fix it if you are handy. Take a picture and share on Facebook. I mean just what the heck is a fella to do????

These signs are certainly the result of lawsuits where people have sued contending "had I known the guardrail was out, I would not have wrecked there".

What is amazing, is that apparently this is an argument that wins in court.

We are pretty much doomed folks.

The wet floor signs are so that a person may slip on the floor and sue anyway....

That's the beauty of dilithium, it's completely inert in its unprocessed state. It's only after they are reduced to crystals that they become "ert".

Jim, Captain James T, that is.
