"Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow, and blood will spill
And if the boys wanna fight, you better let 'em"

Du weisst nicht mehr, wie Blumen duften, kennst nur die Arbeit und das Schuften.
So geh’n sie hin die schönsten Jahre, am Ende liegst Du auf der Bahre.
Und hinter Dir, da grinst der Tod
„Kaputtgeschuftet – Vollidiot!“

Joachim Ringelnatz

IS WATER A GOOD OR A BAD THING? Pros: - Makes baths more enjoyable - Quite useful for baptisms, I suppose Cons: - Facilitates 100% of shark attacks - Less delicious than apple juice - Culpable for the Titanic disaster CONCLUSION: As we can see, there are three cons and only two pros. This proves that water is a bad thing. This does not necessarily mean that we should get rid of all the water but we should certainly consider it if we are serious about reducing maritime disasters.

For centuries, people have wondered if water is a good or bad thing. Now, thanks to data, we can finally make a definitive assessment

Yep. It’s CPC! Let’s go! www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

Why don't they replace the CEO with a LLM trained with a thesaurus of motivational crap? It's cheaper and runs 24/4 for the "mission".
