Actually the last one you could use to amend your constitution. "We hold these truths to be self-evident ... not enough bacon."

I think it was assumed. Part of the Pursuit of Happiness and all that.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

If you start selling t shirts or  aprons, chef hats, whatever, with that, I want 30% of profits for my wit and ability to come up with what others miss.

How about a counter-offer of a free subscription to the Lingerie Channel?

I do not subscribe to cable. Such things are anathema with the forced commercials. They are not to be discussed. So no.

I also want a copy of the BBQ apron. Black with thin gold lettering.

I read about this.  The charge was failing to pay the maid US minimum wage and lying about it on the papers.  Maid was from India which made it an immigration violation.  Maid was highly paid - by Indian standards.  But this fell well below the US minimums.  This was another part of the culture-clash part of the problem between the US & India.

This got caught up in generic investigation of people forced to work for slave (or no) wages due to their immigration status.  This is currently a pretty big US Law Enforcement priority.

Very long article about this in the Wall St. Journal.
