Have you tried to find work this past week?
A guy is at the front of the line to pick up his unemployment check. He's
dirty, has a six-day beard, stringy hair, cot-off jeans, sandals, barbed-wire
tattoos around his biceps. and a ripped tee-shirt that reads, "Congress Sucks"
The clerk says, "Good morning. Have you tried to find work this past week?"
"Sure have," says the guy, " - - followed up leads to four places.
Too late every time."
"I see", says the clerk. "What kind of work are you seeking?"
"Delivery truck driver."
"Well you're in luck. We just had a call from a wealthy man in La
Jolla who needs someone to drive his daughter around in one of the family's
Mercedes. She's 20 years old, pretty loose with money, snd goes to many social
functions. A uniform for you is included as well as a separate cottage on the
estate for your lodging. You can take your meals with the maid, butler, and
cook. The pay is $30.00 per hour for a 40-hour week, with time-and-a-half
for duty before 8:00 AM, after 5:00 PM, or on Saturdays, Sundays , or Holidays."
The guy looks the clerk in the eye and senses something phony. "You're putting me on aren't you?"
The clerk says, "Yeah, well you started it."
"If you think today's healthcare is expensive, just wait 'til you see what it costs when it's free."
