Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 03, 2014

Shouldn’t these borders have cavity searches?

It would be no surprise if investment bankers happened to spontaneously combust crossing that line.

Banker #1: Ethics? What’s that?Banker #2: I think it’s the politically correct term for foreigners.

Such a narrow street, without signs or signals.Best take care in crossing.Getting beyond the lack of regulation may be a challenge.

The ethics district must be a very small place,so few folks seem to come from there.

I see a fire hydrant waiting to be pissed on. Woof.

I don’t think there will even be a serious investigation until the statuate of limitations has passed.

Fortunately, urban planners are generally careful to locate the ethics district well away from the banking and finance district, lest one interfere with the other.

Well, always a possibility, but not really true. Unfair to sincere business—which is in the minority; and to the rare people who do practice real ethics. Not the religious, of course.

My apologies. Should I have wrote I spy a red hydrant that needed to be watered?

Since the sign means don’t do what you would normally do beyond that sign then since I would not normally piss on the hydrant on this side of the sign I can do it on that side of the sign. Yes?

Yes, you are right there, but you also want your obstacle (land mines) covered by indirect fire like artillery and mortar fire. Tough to do in a city street. So, you would probably want to reinforce with Armor (Tanks)

Oh, NOOOO. That is MUCH too kind. Try them, yes. Then put them in a sealed business quarter and allow them to do business only with each other. An interesting study…

“Virtue” not “practiced in action” is hypocrisy.

Sorry strictures; your advice applies to yourself. The grown-ups here have other words to express their thoughts.

I was thinking more along the lines of “It’s My Life And I’ll Do What I Want” from “its My Life” by The Animals http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mJUI-NRDflU

Alexakakos…I can’t get the link, can you help?

Only losers whine about business ethics.

Meh. Just one more border that largely goes unguarded.

You mean a moat with gators in it, right?

i don’t know – seems like language to me

SizeofaPea, what’s wrong with the word Woof?

I’m surprised that a marked crosswalk was even provided for this crossing. I figured it would be one of the midblock crossings for brave pedestrians who can outrun trucks, and manage to reach the supposed safety of tiny medians that pretend to be for pedestrian safety, but are really targets for drivers busy texting…

One of the oldest business jokes: Customer walked off after paying $100 for TV repair with two hundred dollar bills stuck together. The ethical question – should I tell my business partner? (Not, tell the customer.)

We need that sign on the south Texas border.Al least it says more than sitting at a cross road in the middle of no where. I will go when they expand it to Del Rio…..I know that area better. Worked that area for 12 years.(If you seen No Country for Old Men you saw areas around there I know quite well and yes a few times we were called to a shoot out with no survivors near the border)

Yes, but when I have to pay taxes to supply those corporations with the roads and utilities and infrastructure from which they benefit, I believe I have the right to demand some compensation, such as lower prices on their goods and services because they don’t have to pay for all that stuff all on their own.I what? Oh. Never mind.

Wonder what the other sign says.. the one that is behind him…maybe… Do What You Do Do So Well. ?

No, Wiley isn’t prejudiced against businessmen. Just ask him!

Ethics are disappearing fast because people want rights, not responsibility. And some in government are very happy to let them have all the rights they want.
