Person 2: Not until you stop begging the question!
Person 2 (in their mind): God this fucking guy…

Jason is walking along the sidewalk and comes to a stop at the crosswalk. He is standing below a McDonalds sign attached to the side of a building. A drop of water detaches from the bottom of the McDonalds sign and lands on Jason's forehead. He steps back and squeels.
Jason: Ahh! I got questionable water on my face!

Hym "To answer your question, Yes. The first time I did it begrudgingly, at someone else's behest. Tried to convince them not to do it or to do it in a way that wasn't fucking retarded. Seriously. If you're going to commit fraud, do not let the ring leader be a fat bald retard. Second time was compensatory. She was fucking the retard. She was talking about how much she loves fat cocks and she locked eyes with a cripple for a full 7 count. She fucked him. Which means.... there aren't any cameras here. And to tolerate that shit costs way more than I was being paid. Why should I be forced to eat the cost? I don't think I should have to do that. So, I didn't. Hit them with a little 'labor inflation' and send a few thousand 'emails' asking where the fuck that prostitute was keeping my money and allowed them to compensate me for services rendered. Wasn't enough obviously. My payment remains incomplete. Interest is building.... 🤷 I still maintain that I am fairly morally grey. For now at least."
