Before everyone gets up in arms and starts sending flaming emails to me, this is a joke.
Yea, it may not be politically correct (like my site ever is), yes it has been around for awhile, and yes, I probably shouldn’t post it. Well, it is my site and every time I hear it I still laugh. So, here you go…
A guy walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check
He marched straight up to the counter and said, ‘ Hi. You know, I just
HATE drawing welfare. I’d really rather have a job.’
The social worker behind the counter said, ‘ Your timing is excellent. We
just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a Chauffeur
and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter.
You’ll have to drive around in his 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL, and he will
supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be
provided.
A two-bedroom loft type apartment with plasma TV, stereo, bar, etc. located
above the garage, will be designated for your sole use and the salary is
$200,000 a year.’
The guy, just plain wide-eyed, said, ‘ You’re b.s.-ing me!
The social worker said, ‘ Yeah, well . . You started it.
Fine, I suppose this is where you look for some witty insights to my mind. A "bio" of sorts. Here is the deal... I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, golf, kayak, fly, race my car through the mountains, write (a lot), and travel extensively. I am almost old enough not to care what other people think about me...almost. ~Godfadr
I LOVE THAT ONE!!!!
Just a thought…..Might it be cheaper in the long run to staff the welfare office with welfare recipients..that way the money works double time?
That is hilarious! I needed a laugh today.
Godfather, How dare you? Those people are trying to get jobs but there are simply none available. They really are trying, and the least you can……. Oh wait a minute I was recently “fired” and found employment inside two weeks. Didn’t need unemployment at all. Wierd.
There you go Godfather. Now I’m the one who is an insensitive jerk. The pressure is off.
Jay, You’re lucky! I was let go on April 1st (no joke) and STILL haven’t found a job. I’ve just filed for unemployment insurance, and even though I’m going to get the maximum benefit, it still won’t even pay my rent (yes, the max here in AZ is THAT low).
So while I’m glad you found another job almost immediately, not everyone is that lucky. Add in being over 50 and your chances are slimmer.
There, now I’m the bitch.
