Just because it’s perfectly cromulant, doesn’t mean I have to like it.

Is this white collar Club Med jail, or federal pound-me-in-the-ass jail?

You’ve lead a trite and meaningless life. And you’re a very bad person.

> It appears that Sumaira Umbreen is a good deal more literate than the Punjabis who write tax notices to Americans, at least, tax notices regarding situations where Amazon gift cards are acceptable forms of payment but checks are not. Although I must say that I’m shocked that there are tax cheats in the Punjab, known for its upstanding businesses like the telemarketers who call me while I’m trying to have dinner, offering duck cleaning services. They regard with cheerful disdain the facts that (a) I am on the do-not-call list and do not wish to hear from Punjabi telemarketers, and (b) I have no dirty ducks. In fact, no ducks at all.

Hey, PM me for my number and you can make an agreement that they’ll stop calling you if you pass it on to them. Not only will that get them off your back but, since I make dinners late and my wife’s been asking me to treat her to Peking Duck…

–G!  
That would be so slick! Like water off a duct’s back!

Been playing cards all day, hiding from the man. I did get a repeat call but nothing else.

If I got one of these calls, I’d simply bribe my way out of it.
