They look so weird with those foam cans in their hands… I cant out my finger on their weirdness… they just do…
Damn, if only I had known there was an “I usually flush the toilet” bonus!!!
and seriously, wtf are they spraying??
@Shra: Maybe we are used to see guns instead of cans?
Quite possible, fwd… quite….
I wish I got a bonus for showing up on time. How about a bonus for sitting at my desk pretending to work while posting at the OEB?
I would like to take that bonus please!!
The guy on the right reminds me of Mr Burns from the Simpsons, maybe he’s decided it’s time for Homer to have a shave.
Knit Nurse, now that you mention it… I think Burns looks cooler… after all, he is skinnier and has less hair… but hey, Mr.Vice President could be meaner?? You think?
