"He who dies with the most toys, wins."
The big-big boss here just walked through saying that. Upon which I -- the underling by three management levels on the chart -- replied to him, "Yeah, he wins the same spot as a poor guy does."

Uh, guess which one of us is the Democrat????

:rofl:

2. Well Jesus said the rich man, Dives,
was going to hell. The beggar Lazarus was going to heaven. He who humbles himself will be exalted and he who exalts himself will be humbled.

9. It was the tail end of a conversation the big-big boss was...
...having with the big boss, who bosses the boss, who bosses the guy who they say is my boss. Sigh. (But really, I get free reign. NONE of them know exactly what I really do, just that I get it done and they can make money off me.)

10. I never understood that sentiment
Wins what? You can't take it with you. And too many possessions just tie you down.

What an asshat.
