“Okay ladies and gentlemen: laptops come OUT OF THE BAG if they’re over 14” and go in a SEPARATE BIN if they’re space grey - and or have a power cord that was manufactured before 2021, otherwise they stay in the same bin. BELTS! Belts come off

Similarly, I’ll be expensing a 2 month trip at the Four Seasons in Maui.

But it has only been 5,840 days (16 years) for this high speed rail bridge to no where to be built in Fresno, California.

Please clap.
