A Most Compelling Tribute

Six (6) airtight, courtroom-grade arguments for why thou — yes thou — should dispatch a tribute unto Brother M.J. Smith forthwith.

I.

Comedy Is A Public Utility

Like the post office, but funnier and slightly less reliable. You wouldn't deny the post office a stamp. Don't deny a brother a $5.

II.

The Big Back Recovery Is Expensive

Have you priced lean protein lately? Chicken thighs are now a luxury good. The Bible did not foresee this.

III.

Your Donation Is Tax-Deductible

(It is not. But the joy you feel is, spiritually, a write-off.)

IV.

Robinhood Profits Compound

You give a little. I invest. We both retire. This is just math, beloved.

V.

The Lodge Demands It

I have whispered thy name to the All-Seeing Eye. The Eye is now Venmo-aware. Do not test the Eye.

VI.

Future Generations Will Thank You

Imagine telling your grandchildren you funded the man who coined the phrase 'big back recovery.' Legacy. Pure legacy.

Two Sacred Vessels of Tribute

Choose thy instrument. Both are blessed.
