His unkempt appearance would reflect poorly on his employer. Why a kid? IDK<br />2) Twofold: one is kids talking about “grown up” things as if they were grown ups. But the scale would be different because she’s younger. Women who date younger men would be a bit “not done”<br />3) It’s a sight gag. It looks as if they are supported on his head. <br />4) Yeah. He’s shocked that he just slept with a 15 year old. <br />5) Ah. Wealthy woman loves her husband’s money more than her husband. <br />6) She thinks his head is a boob.<br />7) The Truth (the Ugly Truth) is taking a beating from doubters. Kind of like… now. Climate change isn’t real! It was cold out today!<br />8) Well, other than mocking the Irish…”sorry I was taking such a long drink. My mind was somewhere else” Other guy “I wish your mouth was there as well, as I could then have a drink right away.”<br />9) This is a very visceral image of what stage fright can feel like. A giant critic, staring down at a tiny you. <br />10) Wowzers. No idea. Razor is unsharp, brush seems sad. Maybe long hair and beards were “in” in 1880?<br />11) It’s a customs inspection, and she’s having undeclared items confiscated. Don’t know what a spotter is. Either the inspector or someone undercover to look for smugglers? I shudder to think how much 20,000 in 1880s money is worth now =?<br />12) French for “Red Wins” as in roulette (get it, Russian roulette). But the game isn’t over. I.e. the Bolsheviks have made a lot of gains, but the “battle” isn’t over. <br />13) I don’t know how betting works. I don’t know why the pay out would be 10 to 1 if the hounds are favored. I’d have thought it would be the other way. He’s going for the riskier bet though.<br />nanoalchemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10000634831902196631noreply@blogger.com
