*hanged

Pictures are hung; people are hanged. English, man. It's weird.

They just couldn't write it on a to-do list, because they were illiterate.

No, I don't. But I already have a workplace with cameras at every entrance and exit, pin pads at every "sensitive" door, and a name badge with rfid in it so they can track my every movement via sensors in every hallway.

And no, it's not a prison. (It just feels like one, amiright?)

When did "call in" change to "call out"? And why? You "call in" to work to tell them you will be out.

It feels like it was in the last 5 years or so, but all the new people (younger than me) at work now say "call out," and I don't understand the lexicon shift.

Just in case this isn't a joke, then this is probably a country difference. In America, "entree" is synonymous with "main course". I know, I know. That's not what entree means. But the fact remains.

Little bit too coherent. And he would never second guess a decision he claims he made.

Maybe trail off in the middle of a sentence, and then mutter something about the liberals making Twitter delete it? Because everyone is in awe of how much sense he makes, and how right he is all the time.

That's the prequel movie. The one where you see the beginnings of, uh, head dictator guy who starts the hunger games. (I didn't watch it.)

I don't fully understand what's happening here, but they nailed the expression in that last drawing.

It sounds like it might be another form of poor tax.

Your license/inspection is expired (possibly because you either couldn't afford to renew it, or couldn't take the day off to renew it) = given a fine.

Misses a payment, because they already couldn't afford the fine = given another fine and a court date.

Have to show up in court, but can't, again for the same reason you never renewed your license or paid the fine = given yet another fine.

It just seems like it is intended to snowball due to greed. But maybe I'm wrong and just excessively jaded and cynical.

I agree. I knew the image in the thumbnail wasn't a Commodore 64, because it had an @ symbol above the 2. Nope! Shoulda been quotation marks there (then).

But when I click on the article, I think that first picture is right. At least, it looks like what I remember.
