If I'm totally bored and dont have a lot to do, I'm doing my company a favor by taking a couple hours vacation and getting out of here, right?
I'm getting paid to babysit a desk.
Mal: Does.. um.. does this seem kind of tight? Kaylee: Shows off your backside.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm troubled by the idea of dolphins watching TV and catching gulls to trade for fish. It seems like a bad trend, somehow.

Is it no longer on fire, I hope?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Call the dolphins. They'll know what to do.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

After capturing the dolphins from the ocean, Lindell and his colleagues tagged them and placed them under the intense, high-wattage lights of a moisture-proof lab. The researchers then administered an extensive battery of tests designed to measure everything from the dolphins' self-awareness to their aptitude for writing and reading comprehension.
"Dolphins have a popular reputation for being excellent communicators," Lindell said. "But our study group offered only three types of response to every question we posed: a nonsensical, labored wheezing, an earsplitting barrage of unintelligible high-pitched shrieks, and in extreme cases, a shrill, distressed scream."

Well, it was only throwing off blue flames for a second or two. IT suggested we unplug it. We suggested THEY unplug it. After 20 minutes someone came but, like, he has to go home now so we're waiting for the building engineers...

Ha! Yeah, no kidding.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Dolphins are bright. Dolphins are dumb.
The science behind the Dumb proposition seeemd specious compared to all the observed phenomena of the Bright camp.
