kenlewis.jpgIf they thought guy demanding to be paid 1,784 billion, trillion dollars was an amateur, they thought wrong! Turns out he’s got experience holding up people for ridiculous sums of money. Last March he sued his landlord for “892 million billion dollars,” on the grounds that the apartment management has vandalized his bathroom and venetian blinds. I’m not saying he’s been successful thus far, but he’s got the fire inside him. Sooner or later he’s gotta win one of these things. Ken Lewis, you have been warned.

    I say we ask him to sue Greg for false impression of a journalist. The guy wins that one, hands down.

    Given the plaintiff’s track record of success in these types of suits, we are now moving BA’s rating, currently on outlook negative, to negative credit watch. We expect to complete our rating review within 90 days, and we are carefully monitoring developments as they occur.

    It’s a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there’s a secret society of the five most powerful people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows.

    speaking of big numbers, does anyone have numbers for 3rd year apartment vandals?

    @15/SI This is America, you need to specify whether you are referring to metric, standard (short), or long asstons. Presuably 11 was asking about standard asstons, but clarity on each would be helpful

    If you really are the grammar police, go arrest Greg Michaels, whose writing is the syntactical equivalent of child molestation.

    Is it me or does Ken Lewis always have one of two expressions on his face in every photo:
    1. Deer caught in the headlights
    2. Dying to take a massive dump
    Sheesh! Least photogenic guy on the planet!

    then would a thousand cubic asstons be bigger than a thousand cubic fucktons, too?

  34. Posted by guest | September 25, 2009 at 4:37 PM

    Asston is a unit of currency, like billions, while fuckton is a unit of measure, like grams…. let’s keep it straight people!!!

    Are you saying that your firm would rate an insurance company owned by “cows”?
