View submission: I am Norm Macdonald, AMA.
This is an interesting number of questions, Victoria. Who was it that said: If nominated, I will not run, if Elected, I will not serve? Whoever it was, they were an idiot. If nominated, I will run, and if elected, I will serve.
But as we know, television is not a democracy but an oligarchy. They don't hire a lot of guys who run around saying oligarchy. Many times a boss will call me and say "I'll have to let you go" and I'll say "Why" and they'll say "Well you sell more than everybody else at the plant, but you've been saying Oligarchy in the break room too much at lunch. In fact the suggestion box is filled with pieces of paper that complain about that." And I'll say "well sir, Oligarchy, holy fuck" and then I know it's time to pack up my duffle bag and hit the lonely road.
I like chicken and crepes.

I went through this exact scenario at my job. Crazy how many people are out there sharing similar roadblocks to success.

I got fired from the Walmart Home Office for reading Machiavelli.
Not too interesting a story nor is it true.

Chicken and crepes?! Would the chicken have to be French then? And how would one know the served chicken is indeed French, would it come with a little white flag sticking out of it?
