Writer's Block: Supersize me

[Error: unknown template qotd]
I will never, ever, ever - worlds without end - do business with Prudential Insurance [ccchhhxxxt - paTOO] again. They cancelled my auto policy for making too many inquiries. Not claims, mind you. Inquiries. It seems that at Prudential, if you ask a question about your policy, that's the same thing as a claim. Because, according to Prudential's [ccchhhxxxt - paTOO] underwriters, if you ask questions, you're more likely to cost them money. And as we all know, insurance companies - particularly Prudential [ccchhhxxxt - paTOO] - are all about raking in premiums and denying claims.

RIP Daniel Schorr

One of the nation's keenest minds has left us. May he rest in peace.

The Laws of Construction

Corollary 42a to Murphy's Law of Construction

When exercising a new skill, say, re-grouting a tiled bathroom, the correct technique will always be found when 4/5 of the job has been done.

Corollary 42b

The correct technique will never be the one they tell you on the box.
