Of course you've been waiting breathlessly for (and will upvote) our hilarious Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ============================================================= HILARIOUS SIGNS The fastest land mammal is a toddler who's been asked what's in his mouth. I never imagined I'd go up to the bank-teller with a mask on and ask for money. My personal style is best described as "didn't expect to get out of the car." Ran out of coffee this morning, so I used tequila. Everyone is so pretty today! I never finish anything... I have a black belt in Partial Arts. "Not yet not yet not yet not yet EAT ME NOW!!! Too late." -- avocados When this coronavirus is over, I still want some of y'all to stay away from me. The first person to hear a parrot speak was probably not OK for several days. Drinking coffee in the morning helps others live longer. People write "congrats" because they can't spell "congrajlayshins." Wash your hands like you just ate buffalo wings and are about to put on a wedding dress. Emergency phone not installed. Please do not have an emergency at this location. This work center has been accident-free since Joe left. MAINTENANCE SHOP. We can repair anything. (Please knock hard on the door; the bell doesn't work.) A yawn is a silent scream for coffee. This sign has no purpose whatsoever. Volunteering is mandatory. Thank you for your cooperation.

McDonald's Franchisees Slam Draconian CA Fast Food Bill, 'Will Result in a Devastating Financial Blow' [...] Here are some of the new rules franchisees will face if Governor Gavin Newsom signs the bill into law (which he has already pledged to do): • It would raise the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 per hour. • It would apply to restaurants with at least 60 locations nationwide, except for restaurants that make and sell their own bread. • It would also create a 10-person council to govern fast-food chains and set guidelines for working conditions and wages. Why are restaurants that make their own bread exempt? I'm guessing some well-financed lobbying group got that language inserted.
