With the world of art being as silly and subjective as it is, how is it that I can’t recall having ever heard a story like this one before. It seems like such an obvious stunt to pull once you hear it. A Danish artist has pocketed 534,000 kroner ($84,000) in cash that he received …

No Money Down. Pants Are Another Matter

Not that any of these do it yourself stories are pleasant and lovely, but there’s something about this one that’s particularly gross. I just can’t put my finger on what, though. Police were called Wednesday afternoon to Bob Tyler Toyota in Pensacola after “a customer complained to a sales associate about a naked woman in …

There Is Much To Be Learned Here. About The Law, About Customer Service, And About How To Truly Help

None of this should be happening. There’s little excuse for not knowing as a business owner that service dogs are allowed in your establishment in everything but very specific, extreme circumstances.

Wake UP, Methew

You may read many funnier things today, but the description of how this fellow was discovered hit me the right way just now. “On Friday, September 17th, Matthew Williamson, 37, was charged with Unlawful Breaking and Entering a Vehicle (UBEV) and Theft of Property 3rd Degree.

Doug Ford Just Had A Great Idea From Five Years Ago

It’s nice that Doug Ford has decided to raise Ontario’s minimum wage to $15 an hour (it would have been a whole lot nicer if he hadn’t cancelled the very same thing almost four years ago), but his stated reasoning for doing so now makes no sense. But the premier defended his previous pro-business stance …

Everybody Should Absolutely Be Vaccinated Maybe I Guess, But I’m Not Going To Tell You What To Do. Just Promise Not To Kill Anyone, Ok?

And now, I give you the latest dumb decision that the Ford government is going to have to walk back in a few weeks, hopefully before it has the chance to spectacularly fail.

Catch And Release

Today’s handy criminal hint: When attempting to pull the old steal a car from a dealership and then trade it in at another dealership scam, it is helpful to keep in mind that thing I just said about *another* dealership.

It’s Full Steam Ahead! Now Go Sit In The Parking Lot

Businesses returning to normal capacity will not be inspected for social distancing Was there confusion over this? Why, if so? It sounds pretty clear to me unless the new dictionaries or the Ford government have different definitions of the words full and capacity than the ones I’ve been using all my life. The reason we …
