Gotta admit, this does seem somewhat contradictory! All the free sandwiches...as long as your wife/girlfriend/lifepartner makes them.

I don't know nearly enough to be chief of anything.

i'm a good brainless goon though. good for brute force jobs, or for beating up people you don't like.

Nice, that is one of the funniest things I have read.

You could at least give them a parade lap in your race car as some payment since there are no 401K benefits.
