How I’ll Make My First Million

September 1st, 2010

A bill proposal in California would legalize gambling against horses. As a champion of the state of California, I’m swinging my support their way by starting a new business called Ryan Stayton’s Horse Assassinations, whereby my clients bet on a horse to lose and I assassinate the horse mid-race, making it the loser and them (and the state of California) the winner.

Sure that horsey looks like it's a sure thing to win, but accept no immitations: the only sure thing in horse racing is Ryan Stayton's Horse Assassinations.

Dibs

August 11th, 2010

If we ever have Thanksgiving dinner with Sir Anthony Hopkins (among others), and we play charades, I get to be on Tony’s team. That guy could act the hell out of Mr. Mom.

The Safety is Mos Def Not On

August 9th, 2010

I can walk into a gun range and get a loaded weapon to shoot at targets in a room full of other people even if I’m clinically depressed and off my meds, but I can’t walk into a gun range and get a loaded weapon to shoot at targets in a room full of other people if I’m perfectly sane but wearing roller skates. Double standard? Decidedly.

What Vultures Think About

July 29th, 2010

“Why do people hate me? I don’t scavenge on dead flesh because it tastes good; I scavenge because I’m not athletic enough to catch live flesh. Frankly, dead emus taste terrible, but I’m doing the best I can with the tools I have. I’m more gatherer than hunter. And I’m always sad. So, so sad.”

"Papa, will this one fight back?" "No, son."

The Surest Sign of Incompetence

July 28th, 2010

A lot of professional types have an opinion regarding things you shouldn’t do on your first day of work (e.g. surfing the web, under-dressing or undressing), but we can all agree on the number one thing that leaves a bad impression: microwaving metal. Wise up, sucker.

Why I Quit My Job as an EMT

July 22nd, 2010

After responding to an accident between a minivan and a hearse, I spent 12 minutes giving mouth-to-mouth to a grandpa who had been dead for three days.

"He's dead." "I know." "Since Tuesday."

Unhappy Ending

July 15th, 2010

There’s a good reason you never see an old, near death person getting a massage.

MASSEUSE: Release yourself. Go to a peaceful place.

OLD, NEAR DEATH PERSON: To the light?

MASSEUSE: It’s quite possible there’s a light in your peaceful place.

OLD, NEAR DEATH PERSON dies.

MASSEUSE (CONT’D): Wait, no!

"She died peacefully. I mean really, really peacefully."

Also Missing: Morality

July 14th, 2010

Do you ever see a missing persons flier, and you don’t even look at it because, “There’s a hell of a lot of people on the planet, and chances are….” You’re the worst person on the planet. That says, “I’m willing to risk the life of that 4 year old… so I can get my Fruit Loops six seconds sooner.”
