Three sheets William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 7-5-19
When someone is three sheets to the wind they shouldn’t drive. Makes sense. The phrase comes from sailing ship days. “Sheet” does not mean sail but the rope attached to the corner of the sail used to control it. When these rope were loose, the sails would flap. When three were loose, there would be control problem. The original phrasing was “three sheets in the wind.”

OK Miranda, chalk up the autobiography as another one of Ben Franklin’s inventions. Granted, the word didn’t come into use until seven years after his death in 1790 but it was used to market the book he wrote about himself.

Andy Rubin Sex Ring Alleged
In the latest chapter of depravities of the rich and progressive, we learn that Android co-founder Andy Rubin’s ex-wife Rie Hirabaru Rubin is seeking to annul a pre-nuptial agreement she signed before their 2009 marriage on the grounds that Andy was running a sex ring during their marriage among other things.
Andy allegedly paid women hundreds of thousands of dollars to be “owned” by him. Among their tasks were servicing other men so that Andy could either watch or join in for threesomes.
Andy was also a top dog at Google until he was forced to flee with a $90 million comp package in 2014 after a female co-worker accused him of forcing her to perform on him oral sex in a hotel room.
That’s sodomy, by the way, and yes it is a crime. Guess being a Google exec gives you a $90 million get-out-of-jail free card.
Android is the best selling OS for smart phones. These guys are our moral arbiters or are at least trying to be.
