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

(That last question is one of the weirdest ones I've ever asked.)

Heh. I suspect you've asked even weirder questions about Batman....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's why I clarified! I was thinking about managing employee expectations wrt rewards for job performance. FTR, I would be unsure what "24 business hours" means if I read it in a contract, but probably take it to be three business days.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Heh. I suspect you've asked even weirder questions about Batman....

Even with the whole punching-a-hole-in-reality thing AND Batman: Odyssey, I still think I haven't.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'd probably assume that 24 business hours was "next business day" rather than "if it's on a Saturday you're contractually fucked". More importantly, though, I'd read it as "clarify this".

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Yes, Tep. That whole last book? super-gross. I still feel somewhat violated by my knowledge of it. Which, if you consider the things I generally pursue knowledge of, is fairly impressive, don't you think?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, your assumption was my coworker's. It took six weeks or some shit to get the contract amended and approved, and everyone let this slide, so I did, too!

My great-grandfather met my great-grandmother when he was 31 and she was 8. He waited until she graduated from college (in 1907) and then married her. All 4 of their daughters hated him.

Because books.

Wow. That's so ... Thorn Birds. Without the priest part, but still.

Note that the girl in the Vows column only graduated from high school three years ago, so I'm guessing she's still in college....
