The woman who lives in the apartment next to mine got a dog. The dog barks during the day. Before gf left for greener whatever, she complained to the property owner about the dog's barking during the day. I was talking to the neighbor and learned that she had been fined $300 because of the noise complaint. The neighbor is kinda hot. Should I fuck her?

Yes, but not in her apartment. The dog'll bark even more insanely out of jealousy.

Unless, of course, you appreciate the company, and the dog's advertising the play-by-play to the rest of the building.

I have been exceedingly nice and patient with one of my clients. She just sent me a bunch of documents for the case we are working on with a special thank you note on stationery with a cat on it and the words "From the paw of...." printed on it.

If you want to get back at her, I think I know of a newly-available dog to take care of her cat...

(Not that I would have wanted you to. I generally dislike ellipses in posts and emails, and especially by men. (Sexism alert): it suggests to me that the guy is trailing off or can't decide what to say, which is not very masculine. And given that one has complete control over what one types in a post or an email, one has no need to use ellipses as mere filler. Most of the time it's serves as a visual "um" or "like," rather than as an extended pause to express that words either aren't necessary or can't quite capture what one is trying to express.)

Okay.... I see your point...kinda.

I've seen people do this. Among other things, I've seen them lie to people's faces when the people know they're lying (and they knew the people knew). The person left that figurehead position for an elected position, making much more graft. And she's a junior senator now.

He's not from Mexico. Why would you assume that all barn hands are Mexican?

Also, may I send my client memos to you before they go out so that you may proof read?

Pad your bill 20% as a secret way of getting back at her.

Not on the air. But, hey, offer, acceptance, right?

Sam Solvey, Executive Janitor, Mar-A-Lago.

I assume it was a plant by NBC.

Bowie said it was really Sam's money and that he had mortgaged (I assume a second) his house, etc. to scrounge it up. But maybe that is just the NBC-approved story.

I like this. The direct approach. Please let the board know if you have any takers (use the FBA or RotAF feature if necessary). It is sad that I get such a thrill living vicariously.

If so, his fiancee must be really pleased. "You're willing to pay trump $250k for a job, but all you got me was this sucky .87 carat engagment ring?"
