Some things too funny not to post
I read this and don't know how to post link things but it is too funny not
to share. This morning I went to sign my Cats up for welfare. At first the lady said, "Cats are not eligible to draw welfare." So I explained to her that my Cats are mixed in color, unemployed, lazy, can't speak English and have no frigging clue who their Daddy's are. They expect me to feed them, provide them with housing and medical care. So she looked in her policy book to see what it takes to qualify. My Cats get their first checks Friday. Damn, this is a great country |

Damn, this is a great country I do see the intended point of the joke, but....my cats are hard-working mouse-frighteners, and quite healthy; unlike the people I know best who are on our equivalent of welfare. They are quite unable to work due to serious, chronic and in one case, terminal illnesses. Yes, we have our layabouts and frauds, but still... One of friends on whatever you want to call that type of government assistance will very likely get more bad news when she sees her doctor - paid for, like mine, by our health care system - next week, and perhaps that's why the 'joke' kind of hit me the wrong way. -- Cheryl P. |

Some things too funny not to post
one of the reasons this is funny/sad to me and gramby is we see both of this
every day in our work... we both have friends who need assistance and can't get it, we also both work in rest stops and hear the partying groups*insert group of choice here as no race/ethinic group has a corner on this* that travel from detroit/chicago/indinapolis/ STL to clollect the "fed paychecks" and brag/laugh about it openly, Lee "hopitus" wrote in message ...

You ain't alone, kid. I seriously doubt many in Illinois or Ohio are heavily into the AZ law challenges and all they entail, but I am positive our Texan and AZ and NM regs know all the details. Of that I will say no more but know that bringing up this subject is a fuse-lighter where I am no matter what you opinion is. I am sure Granby did not realize the above. The quote *is* very clever in its wording and on that note.... My cat is a street thug. He does NOT collect welfare, but works in a warehouse driving a forklift. He talks trash talk in questionable 'hoods, wears his gray fur with his b***crack showing, and bullies smaller members of his kind. The only thing he lacks from being totally macho is that football is still a frightening mystery to him. I keep telling him, to no avail, that DA MAN does not go hide under his mama's bed when danger threatens. There are certain topics heavily discussed lately that I keep my mouth shut about. One of our friends indirectly brought one up yesterday (BP oil spill). I will say no more other than all my remaining relatives except a few in Tenn. live and work in Gulf coast FL or Gulf coast delta of LA. Did you ever see adult men crying as they try to clean up beaches near where they live? |

Some of them live better than - and mock - relatives and others - who try to live honestly - even or especially when they must accept help from others. -- Cheryl |

Damn, this is a great country Well, I kind of think of my cats as little furry children with speech impediments. Or at least that's how I tend to treat them, so getting a job would be out of the question for them. However, if Frank *had* been gainfully employed he would now be eligible for Social Security pension, since he is 69 years old. See your cat's age in human years: http://www.cat-world.com.au/cat-age-calculator Frank's still pretty feisty for a 69-year-old. I think at the very least he ought to get a Senior discount at the vet's and at Petsmart, don't you? Sherry |

IMHO this has not "gone bad" but is "priceless Just depends on how one looks at it. The original intent (IMHO) was humor and it was followed up also with that intent. But true humor also has a serious side. Thanks for posting. MLB |
