I brought home a hitchhiker from a work trip to Wichita a number of years ago. Had to do the whole treatment where they heat your house up to kill them off and also wash all your linens, etc on high heat. Do you know how long it takes to cool a house in PHX down in the middle of summer when it has been heated to >120F? The answer is a long fucking time. I expensed the cost of the treatment plus half of my electric bill that month. My boss didn’t bat an eye and accounts payable never questioned it.

while not technically burying the lede here, it sure seems like you’re focusing on the less interesting details. Were you just shopping for a gimp to store in the basement, or did you flat out kill the guy so you could feel something? I think we can all agree that a work trip to Wichita sounds terrible, but probably not Murder A Hobo terrible.

Are you a lineman for the county?

I saw a movie one time where these cheerleaders were hitchhiking and this truck driver gave them a ride.

That has to be a world record for best expense report ever.  I'm assuming they promoted you.  Wow

Yes, but no idea if it had anything to do with my no BS approach to assigning liability for bed bugs.

Sorry but I gotta say I’m disappointed in this post. I thought for sure you were the truck driver.
