only if the corporate citizen promises really hard we can trust them. like a super promise.

We need better than that. We need a pinky promise.

That's impractical, because for a pinky promise, you need to actually lock pinkies. We need a surrogate, like maybe the Commander in Chief?

I think we should ask Chuck Schumer. He's really good at getting things done.

Perfect, and since he's in his 70s, he has all of that experience keeping promises to draw on.

Also we have to pay them whenever we want to use the code. Yes.

Exactly! Twice the value for my tax dollar!

Not that I've ever paid taxes, but, you know, if my accounting department all suddenly died in mid march some year, and i wasnt operated out of a PO box in a tax shelter, i bet i mightve had to.

All of the sweet, sweet gross domestic product statistics. Mmm I love GDPness.

All that gdpness hot and throbbing in my mouth as i wrap my accounting department around it, and extract everything i can. I'll be methodical, ruthless, and messy, as i extract every last bit.

Maybe we can do a three way where i let our hot cia affiliated friend tickle your labor while i do?

You know, for your birthday?
