I am your lawyer and investment advisor, and this is legal and investment and skincare advice.

Short APPL, pay your taxes, wear sunscreen.

Congrats, that's 3 years in jail†. Enjoy your time!

†I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.

How much money do you want to bet against me, that he will not actually end up in jail for 3 years because of this off the cuff statement?

I'll give you 10 to 1 odds, up to 10K.

Hahahaha, this is comedy gold.

I have no idea how important the disclaimers really are, but they are definitely popular. Maybe just paranoia.

Edit: it was funnier before you edited it and made it more serious...
