Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I like California rolls okay, but even those tend to come in such big pieces I can't eat them happily. I need littler bites. Mini-sushi.

Sushi should totally be one bite. I hate that people think bigger is better in this.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

In order to get a 15% return on $72.00, Emily will need to have (72 + (72 * .15)) = $82.80 dollars at the end of the year. But since there is a $2.00 dividend, the stock price need only be $80.80.

Leaving out the "+2", I'm getting 82.8 from ((72x15)/100)+72 or 72x15%+72, but again I can't figure how the "+2" fits in.

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

and pays an annual dividend of $2.00 per hare.

I think the answer depends on whether it's wabbit season.

Emily has decided that she will not invest in the common stock of any company, unless she can expect a rate of return of 15% per year. Casco, Inc. is now selling for $72.00 a share and pays an annual dividend of $2.00 per hare.

So Emily just needs to catch and mate a couple of rabbits, then.

This! The mega-sized sushi served at most mid-range NY places drives me crazy with its wrongness. Bigger is not always better!
