On job descriptions: Honey, I often ask people on my staff to do different things. Cook sometimes cleans. Cleaner sometimes cooks. Driver sometimes provides an alibi.
On industry conventions: Gosh, I just love gambling here in Vegas. Sure, I may lose $100,000, but the drinks are free, so it evens out!
On the holidays: It's Christmas, for goodness' sake. Think about the baby Jesus: up in that tower, letting his hair down, so that the three wise men can climb up and spin the dreidel and see if there are six more weeks of winter.

HA! Much entertainment gleaned. Thanks!
I saw the first few episodes this season -- they found some new ways to mercilessly mock Tom Cruise, but other than that, eh.
Now, when combined with the photo from this post, I have all 4 characters from the show in a photo on this blog. Will, Jack, Karen, and Rosario. Yep, that's all of them.
The guy is totally just, and there is no skepticism.
