Landlord will not only do time but be forced to hand over his property to the “victim”.

“Sir, do you have an account here? My cash drawer won’t open without an account number. I apologize for the delay. Oh...and your punctuation is troubling!

Can we also work on proper use of capital letters? My Mom is a retired English teacher. Now I’m doing it too, compulsively correcting everybody’s notes. Isn’t that funny?”

> “No dye packs”.

It has been told to me by a person thrice convicted of robbing banks that “Oh, you can scrub those dye packs off”.

It’s all cool. Democrats have somebody who will cast his ballots for him while he’s away.
