Yes, I have a question and it goes like this, huh?

And why does that star trek meme have a Scottish accent?

Scotty (the fictional Lt. Commander Montgomery Scott) spent part of his life in Aberdeen, Scotland. He wears Clan Scott's tartan as part of his dress uniform. Doohan claimed to have based Scotty's accent on an Aberdeen accent he once heard. During the events of Star Trek, Scotty holds the rank of lieutenant commander and serves as the Enterprise's second officer and "miracle worker" chief engineer, commanding the ship and recording its log when both Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and First Officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy) are not aboard.

Wow, do I detect a Star Trek fan? Never watched it myself but it sounds very complicated.

What about my first question?

Because the US Government is the best ponzi scheme ever.

Just look at social security.

Oh I see. (You have to make these connections for some of us slower ones, ha!) They need more and more tax payers though to prop it all up. This is the problem. 👍
