Judge Bent

Do you judge people based on the car they drive?

No. But if they have a recumbent bicycle, I can guarantee they are slimy subhumans who subsist on a diet of donkey butts and octopus eyeballs. They abuse kittens and travel to faraway destinations for the explicit purpose of starving orphans.

They all somehow assassinated JFK and canceled Firefly. They are the ones who abscond with a single sock from the dryer, so you end up with no match.

The recumbent bicycle losers sneak in in the middle of the night and put mold on your bread and dust on your knickknacks.

There is no greater force of evil than recumbent bicycle riders. None.

Internal

How do you start interns?

After they hand-wash my car with a toothbrush, I point them at more advanced tasks like organizing the office supplies by color, size and country of origin. Then when that’s done, I make them put on a jester costume and cavort. If there is not enough cavorting, a taser can solve that most of the time.

Following their generous three minute lunch, I have them really dig into some work by doing some important gardening at my house. They must rent all the tools from me, of course. It’s only fair.

After that, I list them as dependents on my taxes and open some credit cards in their names.

And that’s a good start in the American economy for any intern.
