Back in the day, you could tell a comic character’s personality by what they smoked.
Geniuses and family men smoked pipes.
Bad guys and tough guys smoked cigars.
Evil women used cigarette holders. The more evil the woman, the longer the holder.

Go to the company’s website and bypass Amazon.
I’m a man who likes to get my clothes from places that sell work clothes. They may be called uniform supply shops in your area.
And yes, prices are ridiculous right now.
I, too, remember the long lost past when $1 million seemed like a vast fortune.
In 1989, $1 million would buy you a nice house and you could live off the interest.

They take the skin from the back of the head and swap it with the bald patch in front.

553·9 days agoI always like to point out that ex-slave Frederick Douglas bypassed a candidate who was strong for Abolition in order to work with Abe Lincoln, who was willing to keep slavery if it meant preserving the Union.
Douglas decided it was smarter for him to back the candidate who was most likely to win, in hopes that Lincoln could be persuaded once in office.

A scientist is incredibly vain. He gets hired to work with a disease that causes human skin to putrefy. One day he discovers he’s caught the disease. He looks in the mirror, and the skin is literally rotting off his face.
“Yes, but on me, it looks good.”
Six months from now he’ll be boasting about how splendid it was.

211·11 days agoThere’s a simple reason Trump acts like a cheap crook.
When he was working with the New York Mafia the real bosses kept their distance, because they knew he was a loudmouth weakling who’d never kept a secret.
Instead, they’d send low level goombahs to run him. Mooks who thought ripping off change machines at a laundry made them smart.
A Michael Corleone, or even a Tony Montana, would have extorted $50 billion out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2017.

Best weapon is brains; don’t put yourself in a dangerous situation.
Any weapon you have to pull out is useless. Either they are already hitting you or will take it from you.
Best weapon is steel toed boots. Can’t be pulled out of your hand and your thighs are usually your strongest muscles.
