Joanie: So if they do hire you, honey, where would they send you? Jeff: Not sure. Probably Afghanistan. Joanie: Really? I thought Karzai was banning private contractors. Jeff: That's just the clowns who guard warehouses. The real contractors will ignore the ban. Joanie: Who are the real contractors? Jeff: The guys in Oakleys. We've been over this, Mom. Joanie: But then wouldn't the Oakley's be a giveaway?

Ship those private contractors from Afghanistan to Iraq. Someone is going to have to guard the multi-billion dollar embassy. Baghdad Hills, swimming pools, movie stars.

Actually, I think the Oakleys would help them blend in seamlessly with the ruling class.

Lacey didn’t have sociopathic kids like JJ and Jeff, and she had lots more fun – right to the very end.

Are Jeff’s “real contractors” anything like Quitter’s “real Americans”?

Russell’s on to something. Poor Jeff, he was raised by emotionally unavailable parents, and now every one on the forum is mocking him. He’ll show us, and make us sorry … in the next episode of RR.
