Now I know why the TV remotes don't work.

When these things come up I never know if I should feel stupid or relieved for having not thought of them myself.

- he named himself as beneficiary in his will
- he's still waiting for the Bible to come out in paperback
- he recycles belly button lint
- he won't even tip his hat
- the guest room in his house has a pay smoke alarm
- he's worn his suits so long, they've been in style 4 times

Now THAT is funny.

Don't let anybody 'pimp' you like that. If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who takes "liberties" on shampoo and soap! It's being economical, not cheap!

Nothing wrong with taking those complimentary items. In fact, sometimes I give them to crew members who donate them to battered women shelters, homeless shelters and nursing homes.

As a probationary pilot, the only battle you should fight is the one against your bank account. Seriously ridiculous move. You should have walked to the local convenience store, bought him a small bag of potato chips for dinner, and gone back to your room. You're on probation, not community service.
