Michelle Halley,
Crossing Guard
"I’ve gone through all the paperwork at least 10 times, but no matter how I fill it out, I always end up on page 35M5, Line 18, which just says 'Fuck You, Grandma.'"

Cameron Feng,
Systems Analyst
"Does this cover the dog’s pills? Because those are the ones I take."

Ben Chisholm,
Motorcycle Mechanic
"The new Medicare plan is far too difficult to make sense of, which is why I have chosen to die earlier than I had initially planned."
