Well the solution to this conundrum is Brutus needs to give Gladys more money. And since Brutus is too much of a chicken shit to ask Veeblefester for a raise and not budge until he gets it, Brutus will have to resort to robbing a bank but unfortunately the bank he chooses is one that hasn't received it's bailout money yet. After failing to rob the bank Brutus goes to sit in a Starbucks where he contracts the swine flu.
