Word of the Day

Venal (adj., VEE-null)

Psst. Over here, buddy. Look: we both know we'd like this to go through. It would be good for everyone involved, let alone the town. I just want to make sure that nothing's gonna come up that would hinder it from going through. So how about you enjoy a nice time at the game—good seats here. Remember: this is in all of our best interests. We wouldn't want anything to go wrong, would we? That's why we're trying to, shall we say, proof our investment.
