[Texas Lawdog]

A man has to have certain standards.

[Leo Tanner]

Leo

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, I afraid I can't go that high anymore due to the fact I'm on a fixed income now.

[Leo Tanner]

Leo, I afraid I can't go that high anymore due to the fact I'm on a fixed income now.

Leo

[Texas Lawdog]

[Tensleep]

Gonna put this here 'cause I doan know where else... got it in tha mail today.

Dear Boss,
 
I have enjoyed working here these past years. You have paid me  very
well, given me benefits beyond belief, supplied me transportation  to
every place imaginable.  I have 3-4 months off per year and  a pension
plan that will pay my generous salary and supply health care and
medicine for my entire family for my life, and after my death, my  wife
will continue to draw that salary.
 
Despite this, I plan to take the next 12-18 months to find a new
position. During this time I will show up for work when it is
convenient. I fully expect to draw my full salary and all the  other
perks associated with my current job.
 
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that if my search for this new job  proves
fruitless, I will be back with no loss in pay or status . Before you  say
anything, remember that  you have no choice in the matter. I can and will do this.
 
Sincerely,
Every Senator or Congresssman running for President.
Every Congressman running for the Senate
 
Try that at your job and tell me how it works  out.

[El Peludo]

Just read through this thread; the theme recalled to me some (un)fond memories of days of yore.  Seems I was always in hot water for speaking my mind.  I could tell you a lot of horror stories, but that would sound like I was complaining.  Suffice it to say that a lot of "minority" or other sensitive type folks did not like to be around me.

Tensleep, that is a good 'un.  I think I'll copy that, and re-do it and send it to all of my elected officials; they haven't heard much from me in a while.  At the end, I'll add:

      "Oh, yeah, that is your job, isn't it?"

Need to remind them that they are not invisible; some of us still watch, whether we can do much about it, or not.

[Texas Lawdog]

I did my part today. I voted early.

[Delmonico]

Yep, asked my boss a while back if I could search for a new job when I was on the clock and come back if I couldn't find one.  Got tolt I wasn't a poly-tit-ion.

[Delmonico]

Oh also a few weeks ago asked if I did a really bad job and got fired if I could have a multi-million dollar severance package.

[Texas Lawdog]

NOT!

[Lucky Irish Tom]

I did my part today. I voted early.

Vote early and Vote often, it's the American Way!

[Texas Lawdog]

Back in 1948, we had folks vote several times down in South Texas, funny thing was that they had been dead for several years. That's how we wound up with LBJ as our US Senator.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Being as how Halloween and the Elections are coming up we could do a "B" grade flick

"THE ATTACK OF THE ZOMBIE VOTERS"
