My wife and I make okay money in a middle class area, but, due to a combination of good luck, and contrived to circumstances, we recently got to watch a college football game in the stadium's super executive corporate sponsor level suite. It was awesome. Open bar, amazing catered food, and people networking all around me who are clearly in the c-suite of their respective companies. I had a list of crazy things I was going to say if someone asked me what I did, but it never came up.

I was slightly intoxicated for large parts of the evening, but the one that jumps to mind is I was going to say I was the founder/CEO of a startup specializing in dog euthanasia to help reduce labor costs at kill shelters. We're in talk to be bought out by Google right now.

The funny thing, is that my wife had just been laid off from the company she worked for that paid for this, but the tickets and travel were already paid for, so we just went anyway. It was beautiful, because there would have been zero ramifications for pissing off the entire room full of suits.

TIL Google is in the market for dog euthanasia automation.

Nitrogen chambers. Can’t waste good meth on people they don’t like

Ha! That's awesome. Definitely should've leaned way into it.
