The Jury Finds You Innocent On The Charge Of False Advertising
Excluding the last few weeks, I believe I’ve thought about the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool approximately 0 times in my entire life.

Let’s Go To The Hop. And The Courthouse. And The Jail
$700,000 is a pretty nice chunk of change to be sure, but if I’m going to need to amputate my legs and then tell the insurance company that sepsis got me in order to claim it, I’ll do without, thanks. I guess I’m just not as determined as the now appropriately named Neil Hopper. It …
