This is it! This will finally solve everything!
My boss and wife and kids think I waste my time (and the company’s time) reading this site. Now they’ll see! Now they’ll know!
Now maybe they’ll take the firewall down so I can see this site at work without disabling multiple safeguards.

“The Deadliest Catch” would qualify, too, but that’s not one I was thinking of.
