    Dear DB community,

    I regret to tell you that my contributions and funny bits are not able to be posted to this site due to , “you are posting comments too quickly, slow down”.

    I have lost repeated comments, which would have made this site funnier, resulted in corrections to Kouwe’s work so that we are all not misinformed, and to praise Bess :).

    While I intend to read this site I will not be wasting my time posting my witty comments if they are just going into the e-trash in the end.

    Mr. Gates: Nah, I don’t believe in it.
    Nice Guy Warren: You don’t believe in tipping?
    Mr. Ballmer: You know what these chicks make? They make shit.
    Mr. Gates: Don’t give me that. She don’t make enough money that she can quit.
    Nice Guy Warren: I don’t even know a fucking Jew who’d have the balls to say that. Let me get this straight: you don’t ever tip?
    Mr. Gates: I don’t tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I’ll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it’s for the birds. As far as I’m concerned, they’re just doing their job.
    Mr. Ballmer: Hey, our girl was nice.
    Mr. Gates: She was okay. She wasn’t anything special.
    Mr. Ballmer: What’s special? Take you in the back and suck your dick?
    Nice Guy Warren: I’d go over twelve percent for that.
