Who said that:
I made up my mind as a young kid that when I had
children, my children would know who their father
was
This machine on my lap is not a time machine
It gave a slightly denser picture than an X-ray for
twice the money
And we got the tax bill notice today
And I have to sell one more to pay for those tickets
under my windshield wiper.
I’m gonna have to file an extension
That means interest, right? And a penalty?
I’ll let you hang on to my car for the weekend but I’ll
need it back on Monday. – Feed the meter
I’ve been pulling double shifts double shifts for 4
months now, Chris

That’s what happens when you’re always in a rush Whatever, Chris, whatever

Just flip around

He should have paid you I’ll kick your ass
