1) Jimmy spent eight years at his desk getting his advanced degree in mechanical engineering. He was hired happily straight out of college making $105,000 a year, but ultimately failed at even the simplest of automotive tasks, since he lacks the common sense to so much as change his oil.

It also took him 45 minutes to find the entrance on the hooker he hired on a lonely Friday night.

Rodney is such a tool. He didn't even break into a chuckle when we saw that comedian with all the big dick jokes. Why we hang out with somebody who has an undescended sense of humor is beside me.

Diamond Sense 

Russ Diamond a local state politician from Pennsylvania has repeatedly claimed COVID 19 is a hoax and that mask use is not necessary. Although lacking formal education, he claims he is an expert on infectious disease. Russ owns one red shirt dress and a pair of crusty black jeans. Local organizations have tried to start fundraisers to buy Russ a new pair of jeans.
James will not wear a mask in the store. He is clearly suffering from a case of Diamond Sense.
