Today, I demonstrated my ability to predict the future. See, we was watching MSNBC and it was commercial time.

I told my wife, I can predict the future. My prediction: the next poor fuck whose face comes on the screen will have a medical problem and not only that - there will be a new drug to solve the poor sod's problem.

And I was right.

Well FUCK ME . She won't give me the $5.00 we bet.

Any advice on how to get me my $5?

the Portuguese baker, the little kid donating booties or the young fellow giving a plant a second chance. (Honestly, their ads are driving me nuts. I don't think they ever change them.)
