    Because I was in college I ate the parts that weren’t silver. It tasted normal.

    Then some accountant called me and asked if I still had it.

    I said no.

    Luckily as you do this more you learn what to look out for. The one I work for now is pretty great.

  • Jokes on him: some of the laziest jobs I’ve had were for successful startups.

    Hell, I work for a startup right now and spent the last three hours in my hammock watching YouTube.

  • For context: He’s talking about the communication system between airports. Apparently it had been over copper, but now they’re taking bids to make it all fiber.

    But, as usual, he’s an idiot who has no idea what he’s talking about.

    Jump

  • I raised pigs for meat. Three were females but their little brother didn’t taste very good because we left him intact. Much more gamey.

    Cannibals claim humans taste like pork, and we’re so similar that we can use pig organs.
