As for you, how would you know if you're being defrauded or not? Sucker.
Am I a sucker if I've made a conscious decision that the expected return from investing time in checking my monthly statement against the original receipts is worth less to me than the other ways I could use the same time?

I hope you noted how many people actually knew the words and tune (notwithstanding the lyrics prompt on the scoreboard). Back in the day, before you needed a passport and dogs at the border, Vancouver-eh used to be a great roadtrip for underage drinking.

My honourary Canadian (Penticton to be exact) citisenship thing is true, other than that, my posts are all bullshite.

I'm the Lorax who speaks for the trees
which you seem to be chopping as fast as you please
If you chop them and grind them and turn them to towels
I'll come back when you're sleeping and cut out your bowels
