Apparently an orange turd with a straw comb-over has got a really important job somewhere. I can't quite understand it myself.

On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

Apparently a lying, scheming, scamming, scandalous, dishonest, crooked, untrustworthy, deceitful, corrupt, devious criminal did not get a really important job somewhere. I can't quite understand it myself.

Went on a trip a few weeks ago. Concerned about getting there safely, I asked a friend what to do. He told me, "just follow the signs, and you'll be fine."

So I set out. The first sign I saw was, "CLEAN RESTROOMS -- NEXT 500 MILES."

I finally made it to my destination about a week later, after going through 250 rolls of paper towels, 300 cans of Ajax, 95 bottles of toilet bowl cleaner, and 70 bottles of Windex.

😉 :w00t: :hehe:
