"I don't make people smoke pot or meth, snort coke, put pills or tabs in their mouths or shoot themselves up with heroin. I just transport the stuff."
"We go round and round trying to convince one another that our opinion makes more sense. And the only winner is time for making us look like fools by wasting it."
"The job description, like most, used complicated words that made job-hopefuls hesitant to apply because it may be out of their range of capability."
