- Thank you for posting this. I was gonna try and paraphrase it because what is being said is so spot on to this sentiment.

If I had a felony conviction I'd be applying everywhere answering the phone like, "oh right, you can be president but not manager of a dave and busters."

- Sorry, but you need 33 more convictions to qualify for that position.

  No problem, coming right up, first one is intimidation for threatening to stick my foot up your bum.

You can be incompetent and get any job, but you have to be willing to be an asshole and remove your backbone.

OK assuming it wasn't with this group of assholes, if you could add yourself as secretary of something, what would it be?
