Random Thought of the Day

Quote: DRich

There is a huge pilot shortage about to happen. Don't be surprised if the major airlines start buying the regionals (or just cancelling their contracts with them) just to get access to the pilots. If you have teenage children it may be a good field for them to explore.

Good idea.

I'll scan for small cap to medium cap airlines.

I thought this was common knowledge
Isn't this how they got Al Capone

Yes, of course, but it's funny, to many anyway, to see them publish it with these words.

AS IF somebody who robs a bank or does drug deals is actually going to claim that on their 1040.

Oh, okay Mr. IRS I made $350,000 selling crack. Sure. And I should be able to write off the $35,000 I paid for guns; that's a business expense.

George Santos may end up being an example of how such a law might be used. I believe he had hundreds of thousands of dollars unreported at the time he filed. No one is really sure where it came from.

Worst fashion statement of all time.

I never understood the exaggerated hand, arm, and leg movement when some of us walk, even touching our groin area.

It's like a basketball dunk or after a TD pass reception in football.

There's no need to be a hot dog dunking, spreading legs, and hanging on to the rim and swinging back and forth in celebration.

Or catching a TD pass and then dancing to music that doesn't exist.

Quote:

According to lore, inmates allegedly sagged their pants to signal sexual availability. But Snopes, the fact-checking website, says this story is false. Sagging did begin in prison, but for a more banal reason: Prisoners were often issued clothing that was too large for them and they couldn't wear belts.

It is weird how some things become fashion. Teenagers are notorious for eventually finding something that will troll the old folks and adopt it.

Sometimes while trying to get to sleep I fall into that weird never never land, the special neutral zone.
I'm neither asleep nor awake, I'm somewhere in between.
It's a pleasant place and I don't mind waiting in limbo for however long it takes me to actually get to sleep, to fully cross over.

I must say I truthfully do not believe in random thoughts. Seems clear most thoughts are due to your environment and what has been exposed to you in the last bit of recent history.
