I was graduated from law school in May of 2010. It was the worst legal market since the Great Depression. Thankfully, I had gone to school with a full scholarship and my parents paid my rent ($233/month; got to love Alabama!), but I couldn't imagine what it felt like for my friends coming out with thousands of dollars in debt taking jobs which paid $20/hour (if they found one at all). They literally would have been better off going to work for McDonald's or Walmart out of high school and working their way up the ladder.

Also he'd tell how the potato seeds from the potatoes used in these chips came from the plantation owned by a Mexican drug cartel as a front and how this bag of chips was nearly bought by the man who claims to be the deceased Elvis Presley and also.. ok, you get the idea.

[@myes344]

The Aztec people traded an enormous amount of gold for the first potato plants. And because the soil is so rich they grew the biggest potatos u can imagine. And very quickly they made back the gold and x3 the profit. But after the Aztec people left. The natives try their hands in potato farming. Of course they planted it in less fertile soil. The indian chef was furious. It goes on from there

[@joshuah.4496]

M Yes random fact but part of what made the Aztecs so successful at farming is the combination of several things. They would burn thick forests to the ground then mix all the nutrient filled charcoal into the dirt. They would also use their own excrement as fertilizers, and the last and best of all is that they committed unimaginable amounts of mass human sacrifices to their gods atop the pyramids in the form of ripping a living human’s heart out. Scholars estimate the Aztec Empire would sacrifice anywhere from 20,000 to 250,000 humans every year, and then the human remains would be used as fertilizer

He sold it to me for 1400. It had about 180k on it. I still have it. It's on its second engine. About 280 whp. She runs good

[@Gentleman...Driver]

Well, no... Times were diffrent back then but not simpler. Sure, there were plenty of old cars to buy, but otherwise no one had the money since interest was quite high. No one could imagine that old cars would be sky rocketing at some point. Newer was better back then. At least at the viewpoint of most people. There was no internet also. So you had to dig into car magazines to have a feeling if a car is its money worth or not.

Then told him it was April Fools after he had had the very painful test to determine if he is compatible of not. Now that would create an awkward silence.
