Had to look up that word! Truant is someone who skips school.
Ferengi rule of aquision #285: “No good deed ever goes unpunished”.
Only fucked up capitalism hell is this saying so fucking true.
Moral of the story is: don’t be a good person.
Nah but really a more charitable interpetation is just complaining that we do good and still get shit.
How’d he get the jack under the tire?
He’s a truancy officer, not a mechanic.
God damnit Jim!
Oh man I love this answer. Haha
You think he put that jack under the tire, but that doesn’t make any sense. The tire isn’t even flat.
It’s obvious what happened. The truant officer was driving down the street and accidentally ran over a jack. What we’re seeing here is the truant officer trying to remove the jack that has gotten stuck in the tire tread.
Haha, what is that? Had Bushmiller never changed a tire before?
Could be lifting by the rear control arm/bottom suspension point. I do that when the pinch welds on cars start to rot out.
On one hand, the jack looks too far outboard for that, but on the other hand we don’t see the top of it so it could plausibly be behind the tire.
I think it’s just not drawn all that well.
Gotta be two jacks
Be selective about to whom you make good deeds :D
That’s actually the truest answer, always do good to people who appreciate it
I just follow a more or less game theoretical heuristic- treat people with kindness. If they respond disingenuously, treat them the same.
Then if they do better you treat them better.
Works as a rule of thumb for me at least.
One time I was walking along inside of a mentally ill dragon’s head and I bumped into a ghost. I offered to raise him from the dead, because it seemed like a nice thing to do, and he accepted. But that was a BIIIIIIIG mistake! Turns out he was from a culture where having sexual intercourse with your pets is accepted! He started fucking that dragon, even when the dragon didn’t want to. I told him not to do rape anymore, and he said no! So in the end I had to re-kill the guy and turn him back into a ghost.
The moral of the story is check if people are evil before raising them from the dead.
