Well yeah, but he was also an ex marine lol
Though he did get the idea after successfully defending himself in an armed robbery attempt while delivering pizza.
well now, how about that
It's also really, really easy to lose your job as a pizza delivery person.
Pizza delivery people have to get out of their car in any weather. Cops only have to get out of their car if they feel like it. Also, cops don't have to buy their own gas.
I feel like "The thin crust line" would work better than "The thin bread crust".
And it really does contribute to society
I was robbed a lot when I delivered pizza.
May be you should have tried not getting robbed?
Tip your building superintendent this Christmas, they're actually on the top 10 list of dangerous jobs in North America, like 10 spots above cops. I've done the job and it's high risk of ergonomic injury, as well as accidents, and working alone makes it even more hazardous. You can get sick from the job, get crushed by garbage bins, electrocuted, poisoned, gased, burned, fall off a ladder or worse, and it's low pay.
Superintendent? Don't you mean janitor? Custodian?
Custodian more like it, janitors just clean up. Many people call them building supers
And soon to be you will find them employed by the Mafia betting their own whole life upon the success of a 30 minute delivery.
And don't touch the Snow Crash.

Driving a car is why both are dangerous.
Edit: look up the most dangerous jobs BLS stats, and most common cause of death for almost all jobs is transportation related.
Other people driving is the dangerous part, hence garbage collection and postal delivery being near the top of the list.
