God. Sure wouldn't want to use THAT as a douche. (And yes, I do know that a douche is a shower.) (And hey! That's where I was born! Go Habs!)

One company that I worked for, had a problem with toilet rolls being pilfered. The General Manager sent out a notice showing the average 'use' was in excess of one roll per employee per week. He also stated that, as a public health measure, employees would be tested for dysentery if this rate of usage continued.

Perhaps they should pay him with government cheese.

<i>“...generally permissible since the state guidelines contain no prohibition..."</i>

Obviously, a governor can do any damn thing he wants, unless the citizens have seen fit to explicitly forbid it.

Sort of like the Constitution, only in reverse. ("The people of Virginia shall make no laws..."

I remember so well the care packages of assorted paper towels from my parents.

They get that kind of stuff <a href="http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/va-politics\/probe-of-gifts-to-mcdonnell-widens\/2013\/06\/21\/6fa41132-d6c0-11e2-a73e-826d299ff459_story_1.html" target="_blank">as "gifts" from makers of quack medicine - excuse me, I mean "non-FDA approved nutritional supplements."</a>

The kids who go to those "granola" colleges get real towels, I bet.

That's what started all this. He fired the chef for stealing, and the chef said, nuh-uh, it's you and your kids that are doing all the stealing!

Not just paper towels: <i>"... hummus, “hint of lime” chips­­, toilet paper, body wash, deodorant and other items purchased with the mansion credit card and sent off to school with three of the governor’s five children."</i> Plus also: <i>"... state records show the McDonnells put a digestive system cleanse, cherry-flavored sleep elixir and a variety of vitamins on the mansion Visa card. </i> <a href="http:\/\/\(http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/va-politics\/mcdonnell-lawyer-says-children-took-minimal-food-from-mansion\/2013\/07\/08\/601ebf3e-e749-11e2-a301-ea5a8116d211_story.html\)" target="_blank"> <a href="http:// <a href="http://(" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/va-politics/mcdonnell-lawyer-says-children-took-minimal-food-from-mansion/2013/07/08/601ebf3e-e749-11e2-a301-ea5a8116d211_story.html)">http://www.washingtonpost.c..."" target="_blank">(" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/va-politics/mcdonnell-lawyer-says-children-took-minimal-food-from-mansion/2013/07/08/601ebf3e-e749-11e2-a301-ea5a8116d211_story.html)">http://www.washingtonpost.c..."</a> target="_blank"> <a href="http://(" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/va-politics/mcdonnell-lawyer-says-children-took-minimal-food-from-mansion/2013/07/08/601ebf3e-e749-11e2-a301-ea5a8116d211_story.html)">http://www.washingtonpost.c..." target="_blank">(" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/va-politics/mcdonnell-lawyer-says-children-took-minimal-food-from-mansion/2013/07/08/601ebf3e-e749-11e2-a301-ea5a8116d211_story.html)">http://www.washingtonpost.c...

Look, after eating all those "hint of lime" chips, the kids probably needed the digestive system cleanse. Plus a little sleep elixir afterward because indigestion.

I have seen it. In one company that I worked in the employees took exception to the fact that the CEO got a raise (on his 2 million dollar salary) while the rest of the company was experiencing layoffs and paycuts, He had more perks than you can imagine, country club memberships, car with a driver, etc. The CEO in so many words told everyone to f*ck themselves, he could go anywhere he wanted and would leave if they didn't like it.

Since he was the reason that everyone WAS getting paycuts, the board should have canned him.

Pfft, this is bush league. The entire state of Alaska grifts oil royalties from the 120 million non-Alaska Americans. Beat that, Virginia!

And then there's the ever-delightful Perry family, investing in licensed surgical centers so they can make a profit off of the abortions they want to funnel into their facilities. Because this is what Jesus had in mind.

Has anyone checked the McDonnel home? I'll bet he takes home toilet paper, sugar packets and paper towels every damn day. Fuckin takers. No wonder those people are always in the unemployment line. Wait ..
