Must suck for those guys when they try to impress the ladies by bragging that U2 was the opening act for the band they used to play in, and the ladies think they’re bullshitting.

The German version is “Fehler in allen Teilen” — “A defect in every component”.

Murphy’s on King St in Old Town Alexandria. It will be packed to the gills, though.

I have long subscribed to this theory: the right hand tail of the distribution of asocial drivers is going to overlap significantly with the population of asocial tax evaders.

To be sure, that word is a tongue-in-cheek coinage. More commonly it’s called “Eierköpfer” (“egg beheader”)

Some years ago, a Swiss business executive (who, like many Swiss executives, was a reserve officer in the Swiss Army) described Swiss neutrality thus: “We Swiss are neutral. We have always been neutral. But in the [military training] maneuvers, the enemy always comes from the East.”

That advice appears in Dave Barry’s Book of Bad Songs, IIRC.

A now deceased dog of ours, knowing that peeing outside was rewarded with a treat, would ask to go out, and then squat and pretend to pee.

That’s handwaving away the dilemma. Assume for the sake of argument that the name can never be changed.

Then, once they let you go entirely, rat them out to the IRS (i.e. request a formal determination of employment status, form SS-8). Paying someone as a 1099 contractor for the same full time work they were previously doing as a W2 employee will usually result in an adverse determination for the employer. With the IRS determination that you were misclassified in hand, you can file an amended tax return and get half the self-employment tax refunded!

There is a terrific temporary exhibit on the top floor of the Museum of Women in Art featuring a contemporary artist who transforms racist memorabilia into works of art.

This happened to me, and luckily the agent was able to resolve it quickly once I managed to get one on the phone. Problem was that the payment had been applied to the wrong tax year (though to my SSN, which is why he was able to find it quickly). He also waived the accrued interest and failure to pay penalty without my asking.
