You know the Guinness Book of World Records goes looking for trouble across the world. Okay, they go looking for records. Well here is one, piled on itself...

Guy spends so much time suing everyone, they banned him from suing in many places! He has in fact sued so much, they decided they were going to throw him in the record books.

And naturally, in good humor (which I guess is better than mine), he has sued them in retaliation for trying to suggest he sues too much.

I say get him out of prison and give him a job...! He has too much time on his hands. Maybe the US Senate? Or Congress? Or some time with Joe the Plumber so that he can learn how the "shmos" do it without over-doing it!

Leave it to me to take a well written blog with good intentions and twist the message :)

Anyway, do read the linked article. It talks about how a factory load of workers were stealing stuff from their workplace, more as a machismo deal than to really use the equipment.

Scott Adams can rest easy about his Dilbert jokes involving office stationery. Years ago, on the grapevine somewhere, I heard that companies used to have un-inventoried office stationery so that those who had the intent to steal could steal harmless, cheap stationery and that way, they won't get in harm's way.

Well, in this company/factory, they tried something different. Gary Latham and the company first allowed folks to check out equipment that they would normally be tempted to steal.

Then, they had an "amnesty day" which turned out to be "amnesty days" because people kept bringing back stuff to the sawmill...guess why?

Their wives wanted them out of the houses because they were running out of space!

Gotta enjoy this..!!!

Oh, and if you went to the linked story, you also get to test yourself and find out if you are an arse with a proverbial perforation at the workplace...

How about some inspiration...

Phew...finally, I can get near the blog. I am telling you, this mercury retrograde thing must be something...

Anyway, here is a quote from justsell.com 's newsletter:

“If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished? ”

Rumi (1207–1273)
Persian poet and philosopher

According to Reuters, marriage in Maine is not between a man and a women....hmmm

Here is the link to the article that I am sure will be corrected (since I told them to do it - I am generous that way!):

http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSTRE5455B620090506

I am guessing, if Reuters doesn't "correct" this article, we should assume the Maine legislature and the Governor are extremely unhappy about marriage between man and a woman with multiple personalities (thus she becomes "a women").

And you thought the fact that news agencies were in financial trouble was unfair...

Anywhooo, for your entertainment, here is the image:

So, you have only $208 left. What would you do with it? Spend it, put it in the bank, invest it, gift your mom....

Or, would you sew them together and call it fart, I mean art....

Like the article says, hopefully he learned the value of money at least AFTER he made a blanket out of it..
