Agnes by Tony Cochran for August 09, 2024

Up it to a half a million.

your mom is an … industrious woman, Trout…

Agnes found a mummified monkey paw?

The more I learn about Trout’s mom, the more interesing she sounds.

Sheldon: So with this level of high-power laser array, we would actually be able to solve the black hole information paradox once and for all.

President Siebert: That’s impressive, and how much funding were you looking for?

Sheldon: $20 million.

President Siebert: Really? You think you can build that for $20 million?

Sheldon: Not a chance.

President Siebert: I’m sorry, then why are you asking me for it?

Sheldon: Because once you’ve spent $20 million, you’re much more likely to give me an additional 50.

President Siebert: So actually, what you’re saying is with $70 million, you can build this.

Sheldon: I can see why you’d think that, but no. You can’t go to the board of trustees and say you gave Sheldon Cooper $70 million and have nothing to show for it. No, the only way you’d be able to save face is to double down.

President Siebert: So 140?

Sheldon: And then double again.

President Siebert: 280?

Sheldon: And then – good news – not quite double again. So, uh, what do you say? We have a deal?

Make yourself a success, Agnes — a rich success.

Of course she does!

I thought Trout’s mum was doing it as job and “coming” in second was fun enough

They might have to worry about being audited with all those IRS agents

Okay then, new plan. :)

That’s about as high as I can count too.

I need to meet Trout’s MIL*…uhhh Mom

I don’t think Trout’s Mom is the best one to be taking life lessons from, except maybe as a bad example.

What a great way to go through life. I CHOOSE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I have always chosen fun.

Weird to see Trout so positive.

ten grand would be just grand… ☺

Second time in three days we’ve been exposed to the wisdom of Trout’s mom.
