You’ve only had sex 15 times over the past 12 months!!!!!????? No wonder you get so bitchy.

Business acumen is something that can’t be learned. You either have it or you don’t, unlike accounting & law, which you could teach to a monkey.

So I am now convinced that PLUSAs are not the biggest losers out there. I have a friend whom I hadn’t seen since grade 6. A year or so ago we reconnected via Facebook, which she was on all the time (she’s a vet in Canada, but took some time off and recently opened her own office). Anyway, she plays the game Mouse Hunt on Facebook. So a bunch of other addicts to the game met last weekend in New York. On Friday night, I went to see her, which was rather odd given how many years had passed. In any event, all of these Mouse Hunters were sitting in the hotel restaurant around a huge table and, rather than chatting or going out on the town (many of them had never been to New York), most of them were on their laptops or smartphones playing the game.

Apparently, the top players in the game set their alarms at night to wake up every hour on the hour as they need to check in and make a move or something like that so they can keep their ranking. I couldn’t believe how obsessed these people were! You know it’s bad when a PLUSA thinks there is a group of people who need to get a life!

Apologies if this falls into the “TLDR” (too long, didn’t read) category.

Cgar has about a thousand of them you can borrow.

You should always wear protection, Biff.
