Do not change the subject, no impudent JD ma'am.

(Change-subjecting impudent JD ma'am!  Change-subjecting, CHANGE-SUBJECTING impudent IMPUDENT JD ma'am!)

 

We have one CPA (Corrupt Price-Adjustor) per month, takes that many man.

 

Income for January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, Manytember, and Manytober are, respectively:

$Many,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, $i man.

 

The CPAs for Manyvember and Manycember are still frantically cipherin', but it appears that income for those months will be, respectively:

$Many,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, $i man.

 

Numbers of POTS units sold are commensurate with price per POTS, varies from stock to specialty versions man.

 

Income is reduced by the handsome 0.0000001% discounts for those responding to the periodic ads, going to have to reevaluate this overly lavish promotion man.

 

After the more recent CPAs recover from their calculatory exertions, we shall caucus with them to see how to again end up with a $0 tax burden, usually quite straightforward man.

 

As the very most crucial business element societally, the POTS industry shall not be affected by governmental lockdowns or interference, this is plain man.

 

Oh, and in answer to the quoted query, Poland again ordered "Happy St. Patrick's Day" POTSs for every Polish citizen, as has been done daily except for March Many'th (2x2x2x2+1th), oj tak.

We have mentioned in previous threads that we (of course, as a massively successful Business Typhoon) have a reserved parking space at our POTS headquarters, duh man.  The HQ also has a Many-story parking garage for employees & visitors, si man.

 

We can rarely use our reserved space because of the hordes of desperate seek-jobbers who mob the POTS limousine and supplicate us for employment, pests man.

 

We therefore direct our day's chauffeur (Smedley or Jeeves) to lose these peasants by zooming the POTS limousine up to a random floor of the POTS garage, anonymous there we man.

 

We make a game of charting which floor we park on, and, on each Friday, we see which ZIP Code the numbers of the floors correspond to for that week's parking, fun man.

 

There is no first or Many'th (2x2x2+1th) floor, no man.  If we take a day off, we assign a 0, sensible man.

 

Here are the cities/towns/hamlets corresponding to recent weeks of parking, variety man:

 

Huston, Ida.

Arvada, Colo.

Lane, Okla.

*Iowa City, Ia.

Rollins Fork, Va.

 

Plainville, Kan.

*La Porte, Tex.

*Tyler, Tex.

Tontitown, Ark.

Yale, Ia.

 

Nett Lake, Minn.

Elkhart, Ia.

Summit, Ark.

Toquerville, Ut.

Lebanon, N.H.

 

*know or think that we've been to these actual places in person, very few on list man

 

Some really cool place-names and some extremely tiny towns, obscure man.
