    It is amazing...

    how companies think that "potential income" is actually owed to them. I work tech support for a bank and make less than the national average for my line of work. Does that mean I can sue for the difference under the claim that its "potential income"?

    Me: Hey God! I hear that a second to you is like a thousand years to me!
    God: That's correct.
    Me: So God, how about giving me a million dollars? I've been good and faithful.
    God: OK! Wait a second!
