I threw some facts at him, Scrappy, but he'll probably discount them because facts have a liberal bias.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aw, Sparky. Sorry.
I'm having a hard time believing this article exists: [link] but then again, most of the comments are taking it seriously, so maybe I'm the one without ties to reality.
If that is the quick way, what is the slow way?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ita !, I read that article. I clicked on a link to it thinking, "They've got to be talking about something else besides the completely obvious."
Turns out I was wrong.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, Sparky. I'm sorry.

ita,
one comment has me guffawing: This isn't a hack, this is just… how to do it. Next up, a crazy trick to get toothpaste out of the tube: Squeeze it!

Don't convert it?
I mean, seriously, I sometimes forget what time 1800 is, but it's not like I can't do the math.
that's a pretty stupid article.

I'm sorry, Sparky. Moving is bad enough.

So sorry, Sparky.
I am going to be in trouble at work. How much is the question. My coworker and I both forgot to submit our status reports to our boss while we were off on special assignment this summer. She never asked for them again, so we stopped submitting them entirely. She emailed me today asking for all of them, back to July. Of course, my coworker was off today, and so we couldn't confer. I wrote back and said I had forgotten all about them and could try to recreate, but couldn't we just start over. She hadn't responded by the time I left, but now I am just worrying about it.
I also wish I would have waited to talk to my coworker tomorrow, who is generally less guilt-ridden and who is better in conflicts. (As is, I never want to piss her off because she is fierce like whoa.)

FWIW,
my dad was in the navy and taught me "military" time. All of my computers and phones are on military time. Drives Beau nuts.

I'm so sorry, Sparky.
