  • It is a little odd that it’s going to KY from CA. All that stuff is produced in the south by big tobacco so normally it’s going the opposite direction. Maybe it was repackaged in CA, who knows.

    This was released to someone they thought was legit, and then they disappeared. So someone was able to show up with the right bill of lading numbers and their info must have checked out to get loaded. So you’ve a either hack or someone on the inside.

  • I think this is less about the humor, and more about the superstition about speaking something into reality.

    Here’s a story for you. My grandmother never struck me as on overly superstitious person. But she was very serious when she told me that one day she had a friend over eating in her kitchen when a blackbird flew in through the window. Her friend told her that it was a really bad omen, specifically that it was a harbinger of death. The next day my grandmother’s first born was killed in a hit and run.

    She couldn’t get over why her friend would even say that out loud. Not really because she thought her friend was clairvoyant but because it poisoned their relationship. She’s got one of the most negative moments in her life made even worse because of a callous prediction a friend made that now tolls like a bell any time her son comes to mind.

    There are some forms of negativity that are better off left unsaid. You saying it isn’t going to burn down the house. But one day you might wish you hadn’t said it.

    In the end, are you any less frugal than your parents? When confronted with an issue, all you could afford was a mean spirited “joke” that isn’t funny. People are accepting of dark humor if it actually is humorous.
