I think it was 1000000 trillion bazillion dollars, you drooling braindead goon.

This comment says a lot more about you than it does about me.

Remember when you called me a dunce? And now you're self righteous? Anyway, goodbye.

No company in their right mind would pay one person $100,000,000,000! Come on!
