Today on the 10 freeway the car in front of me had a bumper sticker that said "9/11 was a side job." Now I'm 99% sure they meant to write "inside job" but I had a fun few seconds imagining the following conversation.

1: Nice party, huh?
2: Yeah, it's not bad.
1: So what do you do for a living?
2: Oh you know, just side jobs. Odds and ends really.
1: Like gardening or construction or something?
2: More like controlled demolition of national landmarks on behalf of shadowy cabals running the governments of said nations.
1: Huh.
2: I'm going to get another beer, want something?

I have to say, after living nearly 3/4ths of my life not in a state of perpetual fear and cold war, I was getting a little bored.

Luckily I don't have to worry about that anymore.

Hold me.
