Sleep. Like this conversation is making me do.

All those motherfuckers should do hard time in a regular jail. You want to reduce corporate crime (yez, this is a tangent), do away with country club jails altogether. If you steal a purse with $50 in it, you go to a fuck-me-up-the-ass prison. If you steal $10,000,000, you go to a jail with no walls? That's some bullshit.

I agree thhey should face hard time. But they ought to face a reasnable amount of time - say five or six years. Twenty five years is just absurd. It's as wrong as the Rockefeller Drug sentences. But I agree that everybody should go to the same jail. That would all but end white collar crime.

I believe the correct phrase is a "federal pound-me-in-the-ass" prison. Assumption of risk? So it is an assumption of risk that I will bitch slap someone for a stupid post? I am working on my TMisms.

$2 Million per year of prison? Hell, I'd do that.

He's just in one of those magnaminous, pot-induced moods this morning. Swindle his grandma's life savings through some con game and he's personally sending you to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.

[ETA proper Office Space prison reference)

If I cheat a grandmother out of her life's savings of $300k and you cheat all of your employees (and every stockholder) out of each of their life's savings for a grand total of $300 million, why should we do the same amount of time?

I don't give a fuck about these assholes. I hope they all get the maximum. Then the next egomaniacal, greedy as sin, ceo who's thinking about doing the same can add the prospect of those extra 20 years to his risk analysis.

spray tan antics

So then we made out and I got brown spray-on goo all over her.
Are there any men in the spray on tan industry? I would think this would be a good job for them.

Also, I thought you were smooth like a teenage Asian hooker? ?????
