Wtf? I thought cars couldn't get struck by lightning

My Mom told me about some cop in FL. whose squad has been hit a bunch of times - it made the news down there.  Can't recall, but it might have been at the same intersection each time.

When lightning strikes a car, the current passes through the metal and then it arcs to the ground, usually bypassing the tires because they are a stronger path of resistance.  The car behaves as a Faraday cage, unless it's a convertible, in which case the lightning could also hit the car's occupants.

Why are you still a janitor with how smart you are?

My whole life is a lie!

 

Also, are you excited about the Pooh live action movie?

I’ll probably see it but I don’t know if I’m excited about it. It could ruin my childhood 😆

it’s amazing we’ve lived this long with the dumb shit we’ve believed. 😆

Yeah, I always found it fun to google what Packard is talking about and figure out what site he pulled it from. Thanks Accuweather.

There's the Google faq...

There was also the 16mm film that explained it all way back when I was in middle school.

Dyslexia won't change the numbers.  We janitors get paid more without the student debt.

If you played your cards right, you would have went to college decades ago, back when tuition wasn't astronomical, and not have dealt with any sort of debt burden comparable to today's levels. But you're old now and you know that student loans at your age wouldn't be worth the risk. Social security income is right around the corner for you anyway.

Keep rationalizing your low standards and the miscreants your workplace attracts.

You honestly think the average cublicle worker makes that little? Dumbass.

He also thinks broken condoms cause a nonexistent AIDS crisis.  He probably learned that on the same 16mm film.

 

Kenny is a low achiever.  He was probably beat up in school because he was stupid and slow.  He's a janitor now because he's stupid and slow.  I can just imagine the harassment he got at that "reunion" he had a year ago where he went to some diner to meet up with people that had absolutely no interest in seeing him.

What reunion was that?  I have no interest in attending any and I certainly don't receive any notification of them.  The school that hosts them doesn't have my current address.

Forget one of your own lies?  That's convenient.

I think not.  We all remember you bragging about meeting up with your school chums at some dive.

Oh...

Reunions are hosted and paid for by the school.  What you're talking about was not.  We did that on our own and it was invitation only.

Had they not been interested, they would not have contacted me about it.

Because I wasn't talking and Norman was getting the chord ready for a song.

You mean, you were getting the good ol boys prepped for your rally?
