Recently, a gang of robbers stole 170 dollars from me.  They said they needed it because they had lost a lot of money gambling in Vegas and their bookies were gonna break their thumbs!  Since they obviously needed the money, I didn’t really mind the theft that much.

That was until recently, though.  That’s right…I just found out that they gave themselves 16 cents of that money!  16 cents!!!  Can you believe that?  I mean…the nerve of those guys!

Edit:  Nevermind…they’ve already returned 3 cents back to the bookie fund (and I hear that they may return another 5 cents, too).  I guess I spoke too soon, eh?  Boy, I feel so vindicated now! I’d say they’ve really risen to the occasion and I applaud them for it.

Note:  Multiply the above by a billion, and you basically have the AIG bonus scandal.  Now do you see how stupid you sound, America?  Maybe it’s time to focus on the initial theft, instead of squabbling about 0.1% of it?
