      I’m shocked that you’d think that any amount of money, even 60k, would get me to compromise my civic duty.

        40k is only a years salary for me so idk why they thought that would be anywhere near enough.

          This 20k would have really helped me out, but alas, morals.

            Somebody suggested that I’d get some money, but I never did. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m late for an appointment at the Ferrari dealership.

              120k is barely a down payment on a Ferrari.

                  Yeah, but you said going to the Ferrari dealer, not going to Craigslist.
