I didn't get home last night...

until almost 10:45.  The graveyard med tech was outside, standing next to the no-smoking sign.  She was smoking.  If you have to pick a place to smoke out in front, why would you choose to stand next to that sign?  Why not stand on the other side of the walkway?  That's just one of the things I'm pondering this morning.  I won't even get into why she can't go out into the designated smoking area.  Apparently that's too much to ask...oh wait, I'm not getting into that.  Sorry.

Will guys still watch the Lingerie Football League after it changes its name to the Legends Football League?

Why do morons think they pay into the unemployment system?  The national FUTA tax is actually less than 1% on the first $7,000 of their earnings.
