I know a few guys who would complain if you gave them $100, because they had to take out their wallet to put it away. Who is John Galt?

His comment was, "Yeh, but you still have to pay taxes on it!" I told him, "Give me the money, I'll pay the taxes on it!" A man is suing Smart Water for it not making him smart. I'm seriously thinking of suing Thin Mints.

The new American dream is to achieve some sort of victim status and then never again take responsibility for you or even your kids.

One year it was only a couple hundred dollars and folks were complaining. I mean really complaining, things like that it isn’t worth wasting a check for, etc. I told them, that’s a couple hundred I didn’t have when I got up this morning and if you done want it, just sign the back and give it to me, I’ll take care of it for you. It really sorta blew me away they’d complain about getting money. Too much and the taxes take most of it. Not enough and it’s not worth printing a check. Heck I’d be content with $50. It’s money I didn’t have when I drove in that morning!! Yes, some people are just never happy.

He's been fired from every factory job he has had because of it. He went and got his CDL and does OTR. SIL is happy during the week while he's gone. He comes home on Fridays and told us most weekends she can't wait until he leaves again Sun/Mon. Millions of trees die every year to print environmentalist publications

But I'm resigned to the fact that she'll live under my roof til we put her in the ground. Be we got that understanding of where I draw the line out of the way.
