  • When the big oil companies make a huge profit, who gets the money?

    Every 3 months I get a nice check in the mail from Exxon-Mobile. My dad left me some shares of stock when he passed away. Aren't these checks the profit the company made from selling me (and you) gas? Does this mean that when the newspapers and TV news are talking about oil companies making obsene profits, they are talking about me because I "own" Exxon-Mobil (along with a couple of million other people who also own stock)?

  • HELP! I’ve been accused of ‘harassment by Voodoo’ at work.?

    I was joking around with a couple of coworkers about a small toy doll, calling it a Voodoo doll. We joked about it bringing bad luck to a coworker we don’t like. Somehow, the word got back to the coworker we don’t like and now he is suing! I’ve apologized to him for the misunderstanding, but he still wants his day in court. I’m spellbound!
