This is soooo embarrassing. 
Standards have certainly fallen since my day.  Clearly, training is needed.  This younger generation simply can't expect to merely show up to succeed.  Where's the Pride, the sense of of accomplishment with learning and mastering new skills?  Sigh...

^ oh dear! Although it could've been a tactical move from the robber. After all, cops can't chase you if they're laughing to much to run  ;D

Miley needs to sign-up.

At least she spelled "too" and "college" right. Most of her fellow millennials are unable to achieve that mind-bending feat.

Tuesday's episode of This Is Us didn't just bring us this close to the very moment in which Jack Pearson will die — a raging fire was headed up the staircase — it also revealed the cause of said blaze. You can semi-blame it on friendly neighbor George, who gave Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore) his trusty old Crock-Pot, which he explained to them had a switch that you kinda had to fiddle with, but no worries, it still works. While cleaning up the kitchen following a busted Super Bowl Sunday celebration 17 years later, Jack turned off the Crock-Pot, but after he left the room, the switch somehow activated, sparking up, igniting a dish towel and creating an inferno that quickly worked its way through the kitchen. And, of course, with no batteries in the smoke alarm, a true tragedy was in progress.

After the episode aired, This Is Us fans were quick to post on social media, taking out their anger/grief/sadness on the Crock-Pot, with some saying that they were throwing theirs out so they, too, didn't perish in a fire. One fan told the Crock-Pot Facebook page that she hoped that Crock-Pot was planning a can't-miss Super Bowl ad, given that people were tossing their slow cookers; she received this response from the brand: "Jack Pearson was our Valentine so we equally understand your pain with his loss. We love him and we love you too. Don't further add to our heartbreak by no longer using Crock-Pot Slow Cookers, rest assured our products have been generationally tested by your family and friends." Another fan named Ruthie pressed the brand for a response to the matter, noting that "so many people are worried now," and the brand replied, "We're heartbroken over last night's episode too!... [W]e're innocent until proven guilty."

Later in the day, Crock-Pot issued this lengthier and rather technical statement to TVLine:

"Crock-Pot understands the concerns brought up by last night's episode of This Is Us, and we too are heartbroken by the latest development in Jack's storyline. However, it is important that our consumers understand and have confidence that all Crock-Pot slow cookers exceed all internal testing protocols and all applicable industry safety standards and regulations as verified by independent third-party testing labs. For nearly 50 years, with over 100 million Crock-Pots sold, we have never received any consumer complaints similar to the fictional events portrayed in last night's episode. In fact, the safety and design of our product renders this type of event nearly impossible.

I gotta ask, what part of that was, "rather technical?"

She hired a hit man to take out her ex-husband

He turned her into the cops

From the jail, she tried to hire a hit man to take out the first one who turned her in

On the day she was convicted of hiring the first hit man, she tried to hire two more hit men, to take out a witness in the second case, and to take out an attorney in a completely unrelated civil action against her...
