Probation officer: lmao pass that blunt tho. And then your under arrest.

It takes at least two of them fighting with all of their untrained might to take down a 110lb woman, there's no way they're arresting fat people.

They will do exactly that by garnishing your wages to an unlivable amount and ruin any credit you may have in the process.

Lol my dad wasn't coming home and she preferred a fly-swatter, which I should probably be grateful for.

I haven't read the book and it's been years since I've watched the movie but iremeber leaving disgusted because it just felt like propaganda for big brother. Like, "you don't need privacy, because not having privacy makes you safer".

Maybe I misunderstood it but I left the theater pissed off lol

They made 169 billion in profit this year. They aren't hurting at all.

Came here to say this

 

An example of what I mean:

I, in China, told an English speaking Chinese friend I needed to stop off in the bathroom to "take a shit."

He looked appalled and after I asked why he had that look, he asked what I was going to do with someone's shit.

I had not laughed so hard in a while, and it totally makes sense.

I explained it was an expression for pooping, and he comes back with, "wouldn't that be giving a shit?"

I then got to explain that to give a shit means you care and I realized how fucked some of our expressions are.

What misunderstandings made you laugh?
