Can I leave the country if…?

Favorite Answer:

Hey April,

Unless you killed someone or are a previously convicted offender you will be on what is called “Informal Probation”. You don’t currently report to a probation officer and that would not change.

Enjoy your trip, you’ve learned your lesson (I hope) and if you can, ask in the countries you visit about drunk driving penalties. The responses will make you very happy that your DUI was in Texas and not in Europe.

Can you swing a dead cat in Texas without hitting a racist conservative?

Favorite Answer:

Hey Fat Bottom,

The true question should be… If you hit him, how long will it take him to sue?

And then, If you should win (yeah, right) can you get a jury to award you any money (in Texas) ((Please read “Yeah, right” again))!

What song(s) do you think are good to break in a new listener to jazz?

Hey Mike,

I don’t like jazz! Never have.

But I love Winton Marsailas, his stuff is jazz, but it fools me into thinking that it’s not.

Basia – Time and Tide! I love this entire album. It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from her, but I think that she is one of the best instruments that I have ever heard (Yes, I did say she was an instrument!).

Good listening,

How about sending illegals to fight in Iran?

Hey Philosopher,

I am sorry to ruin your day… Every week we have swearing in ceremonies for alien citizens who are signing up for our military. Any person that wishes to gain citizenship in the U.S. only needs to enter a recruiting station and say they’d like to sign-up.

They are brought, after a background check, to courthouses and INS centers all over the U.S. (Here in San Diego, they actually do it on Aircraft carriers for the Navy — Hundreds every month), there they swear them in and BAM! They are legal!

But I am going to ruin my chances for best answer for what I am about to say:

ONCE THEY ARE SWORN IN, THEY ARE VALUABLE AMERICAN LIVES!

Sorry to break it to you Redneck, but I would prefer 1 of them to 10,000 of you to protect the shores of this country. I am pretty sure that in the event of an attack, you would have your VALUABLE American life — sitting up in Canada!

Is an inability to wait in line considered a disability?

Hey Prof,

First, it’s not a disability unless you have a physical challenge that is defined by the ADA

Second, are you talking about special lanes?

They already have them.

They are called check-out lines. We all wait in them.

If you notice, they don’t have special faster check-out lines for the disabled, just ones that are wider and lowered for their convenience.

So wait in line with the rest of us “disabled” folks!

p.s. Better yet, why not shop online? There, no more waiting in lines….

 

Is it legal to write a buisness letter and try to trick them into giving you free stuff?

Hey Master,

Yup, well sorta… It will take a lot more than a letter. If you can imagine there are hundreds of letters that pile into Apple’s Customer Service center every month. Everyone has a request, Free computers for this class, Free printers for the senior center, Free iPods for the homeless…. you get my drift. Since yours is an “alleged” for profit venture, they will want your lawyers to contact their lawyers to review a licensing agreement. (since you are a start-up, they won’t have any background information regarding you.) In lieu of a licensing agreement, they will want you to let them see your website and provide information on how may hits you get in a month or so.

That being said, once they determine that you are legitimate, they will have no problem LOANING you equipment for your review and will request a copy of your review for future P/R stuff.

You could probably save yourself some money and send them a letter that says; “Hey. my name is Jack. After working hard, I bought an iPod with extra money I made during the summer. It was stolen and I am not able to buy another one. Is there a chance that you may have one that was returned, scratched or unsellable that you could send to me?

I would be eternally grateful!

Love, Jack.”

There is a very good chance that they will send you a new iPod or at least send you a certificate for one from a local store. Be forewarned, if you are 35 and they think that they are sending this to a 17 year old kid, you may end-up with egg on your face.

Good Luck,

James in San Diego
