The rural water system in L.A. County was losing water. They hired a private investigator.

One day he saw a tanker filling at a hydrant. He followed the tanker to Tom Selleck's 50-acre estate.

They sent Selleck a bill for $65,000 for the cost of the investigation and a "cease and desist" order. ;)

I fucked up trading stocks, I need a bailout.

I fucked up with my check book, I need a bailout.

It’s the same thing. Except that when I screw up with my checkbook, I end up having to bail myself out and accept the losses. This is so completely unfair to the tax payer it is not even funny.
