AWPC: Ulterior Motives

What motivates people?
Worker 1: Finally got my tax return back.

Worker 2: Me too.

Jake: So did I. But it's already spent.

Worker 2: Isn't that always the case? What is it spent on?

Jake: Getting my wife a new laptop. When she asked for a replacement, I wanted to say, "No." But her old laptop is ten years old and she uses it all the time for school. Fact is she needs a new laptop.

Worker 3: So what do you get out of the deal?

Jake: What?

Worker 3: There's some sort of trade off, right? What do you get.

Jake: Nothing. I'm doing it because I love her and she needs a new laptop.
And they all moved away from me on the bench.

And they all came back, shook my hand,
and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing,
father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench.

Rolfe, in a private message to me, offered proof that the word I should have used (and have now changed the title to) was 'ulterior' and that 'alterior' isn't a word at all. I know my spelling comes from a combination of phonetics and mistakenly thinking that it shared a some history with the word 'alternate'. I was wrong.

And Rolfe should have confronted me publicly in a reply to the post that ripped me personally to shreds for committing such an atrocity. It's like he's never used the internet before.

Oh, I'm sorry. My bad. Let me try again...

Fuckin' idiot doesn't even know how to spell ulterior. Whatkinda madeupcrazyassbatshitbackwards word is "Alterior" anyway? IMHO, you are an illiterate douche. YMMV.

Is that better?
