Pictured, with Ratan Tata: Arghton is about as amusing as a damp sponge. Granted so are the rest of you. How can you not make a joke out of the circumstances or his name or that of his company? Boring muthafukkas is all DL is these days. _________ Here is the posting made by one of my wonderful home Deadpool people: “The irony... "...was also chairman of all major Tata companies including Tata Motors" "...died in a road accident on 4 September 2022 while travelling from Ahmedabad to Mumbai when his Mercedes Benz car hit a divider." ***Note that Mercedes Benz is NOT part of Tata Motors*** Ta-Ta, Cyrus! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-62787843” Here is one follow up: “Why his car hit a divider is a Mistry to me.” Here is another: “I finally found my life's goal. To be president of all the ta-tas!” Lastly: “i absolutely loved his work with Tatas!” ____________ Arghton sucks. He is not alone. Can we have sone levity around here when it’s set up on a tee for you? The thing about him driving a competitor’s chariot was brilliant. Just fucking brilliant.
