Kinda like to see a timeframe for when he had those discussions. I’m a little bit tired of watching the Good Guys get suckered into making current condemnations of shit that happened months ago and nothing came of it. ---

There could be any number of reasons for that. There might not be enough Secret Service agents/Capitol police available to clear the hotel catering staff, whereas the burgers and pizza were probably delivered by one or two people. ---

Well, have the hotel cook it and the people who got the Big Mac, they can go pick it up. Right? If by “clear” you mean to clear the person who is preparing the food, then that implies they “cleared” all the part-timers at multiple fast-food restaurants. ---

My speculation: thump doesn’t carry any cash and his staff have learned better then to lend him money. He has no credit cards, because his credit is shit. He doesn’t even have credit at the restaurant in the hotel with his name on it. He’s a cheap, tacky, loser bastard. My first three points are guesses. The last one is an ironclad certainty. ---

He wouldn’t be able to figure out the three shells, either, but he wouldn’t be clever enough to curse his way to enough toilet paper. The results will be predictable, but may not be noticeable given how much of him is \*already \*composed of pig shit[sup]1[/sup]. [sup]1[/sup]For those who have never smelled it, pig shit has the reputation of being the _worst_ smelling shit produced by any mammal. Having been near farms using it to manure their fields, I can well believe it. That stuff is _foul_ beyond all description.
