Hey, maybe someone will throw us some money.

When you plant a doofus tree, you find that even the doofus nuts don't fall very far from the tree.

If they are not related to me the are definitely my last two managers working as intelligently and efficiently as they can.

Guys - you need to inspect the root of the problem not the problem of the roots.

The most obvious way to solve California's prison over-crowding problem within the budgetary constraints of their bankrupt state government. Plus the tree will help reduce smog.

Shoplifting at Sainsbury's carries a stiff penalty - dipped in the sewer three times.

Celebrating their 140th anniversary in 2009, Sainsbury's was promoting a dedication to the 'roots' of the company's founding in 1869, and it's 'growth' over the years.

Apparently, John James Sainsbury was really investigating at starting the company right from the ground up.

Perhaps this explains how new 'branch' retail stores are come by.

And as we all realise, one has to start at the bottom, and work one's way up.
