Everybody complains about insurance, but think if you did NOT have it. If your house burns down, do you have $750,000.00 in your bank to replace it? If you cause an accident and someone dies…do you have $1 MILLION to pay the lawsuit? Do you have the money to pay the police investigation, the tow truck, the ambulance, the doctors, nurses, hospital room, the physio, your recovery, etc? You don’t? So sad. Then there is the $1 BILLION a year for insurance fraud.
Check Mr V’s smile out. Gloating. Reminds me of Rich man And Lazarus in Bible that Jesus Christ spoke of. Luke 16:19-31. Gloating/Gluttony/Covet comes in many forms and does not end well but in hell. Think. In life Rich man had all the material wealth and bragged while Lazarus was just a poor sick beggar ask for crumbs. In death Lazarus has all that Lord’s Glory of Paradise/Heaven can offer including Eternal life and Rich man now is the Beggar, Pleading for one drop of water for his parched tongue. (roles reversed same day)Gal 6:2 Sharing is Lord’s royal law of LOVE.
Not a compelling opening statement argument. He should have led with how good the company is doing, (assuming that’s the case) and that it is do in part by the efforts of Brutus and that he deserves the raise do to the increased cost of living during these turbulent times. Still won’t work as the Boss does not like to part with his money but it is at least a better non emotional opening argument……
My last couple of years in college I had a Beetle. If it was dead empty, I could fill it up for $1.69. Problem being, I didn’t have $1.69. Back then I figured that by now things would be great but nothing much has changed.
Funny gag but true! Chief has Veeblefester Tea Cozies to bankroll his lifestyle. Brutus should start Thornapple Tchatchke Supplies so he can move into the 1% with Rancid. Of course Brutus will still be burdened with Gladys, who will just raise her spending accordingly. I am assuming that she’s the “family” Brutus is referring to because I don’t see Brutus, Wilberforce or Kewpie going on shopping sprees!
Any body that has over 10 billion dollars in investments can not spend the money earned in interest and dividends fast enough which why they give millions to charity to lower their tax liability and as a result the investments increase in value.
I can’t quite buy Veeblefester’s claim that he’s living beyond his means, when he always seems to have bags of cash just lying around his office. Or are they just props for show?

He could grab that bag of money and run but being a Born Loser it would be full of one cent coins.

My power bill went up $3.49 over last July. My prop tax went up $68 over last year. FOOD and CAR INSURANCE are going to starve us out.

Poor Brutus, he needs a raise desperately. Do I detect a smile of smug satisfaction on Veeblefester’s face as he sits there behind a bag of cash?

The boss addressing you as “my boy” is very condescending. JC Dithers does that to Dagwood Bumstead as well. In addition to kicking him.

I can’t understand why Brutus goes golfing with the chief and sometimes buys him dinner. Brutus is a much nicer man than me.
