I usually do not go for this kind stuff but this stuck me as funny and a little fitting of the times....
Dear employee:
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me, since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.
So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lot and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem.. They voted for change, they should get it..
I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.
Isn't the blind Governor of NY a dem? That bit on him they did was one of the funniest things I've seen on SNL in years. My fiancé thought I was high or something I was laughing so loud.
It's an old gag that get's wheeled out every time there's a change of administration, & not just in the US either. I wouldn't sweat it Don, though I do agree with you.
Just heard on the radio this morning that if all of Obama's programs get put in place, we'll have to raise taxes %150 to pay for it.
In my opinion, the economy is like a tankslapper. The more you try to correct it, the more you get thrown around. If you just let go, it will straighten itself out.
Dog...they'd never make it out of the store parking lot because someone would pipe in about how recreational riding burns too much fuel and it should be banned.
