How The Government Does Business

Debts
The hotel proprietor takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the butcher.

The butcher takes the 100 dollar bill, and runs to pay his debt to the hog farmer.

The hog farmer takes the 100 dollar bill, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel.

The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her "services" on credit.

The prostitute runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 dollar bill to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there.

The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 dollar bill back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect anything.

At that moment, the rich tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and takes his 100 dollar bill, after saying that he did not like any of the rooms, and leaves town.

No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now without debt, and looks to the future with a lot of optimism.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States government is doing business today. ;)

One Of The Best Guitar Solos Of All Time!

This is one of the best covers I have ever heard. On top of that, its a cover of a song with the greatest lyrics of all time. Give a listen all the way through. Trust me, you'll thank me.

What's The Point?

This post is a bit delayed, so please forgive me. I recently worked our store's customer appreciation day, and let me just say that it was a complete disaster. Why? Allow me to elaborate.

#1) Our manager gave flyers for our $3.99 large pizza to every doorstep and car windshield in a 3 mile radius. Most of our customers that day were not regulars, they were simply random people who just happened to find the flyer. Worse yet, I haven't seen most of them since.

#2) Our store's lobby was packed with people all day. Literally from around 12am to 12pm. There was no room to stand and the store was so loud that when we called out the names of customers to come pick up their orders, our voices went unheard.

#3) With so many orders, pizzas were constantly shoved into the oven. If you were to order on that day, you would have gotten one of two types of pizza: well-well-done or not done at all. Plus, the oven was backed up for most of my shift. This caused a lot of burnt pizzas.

#4) We only have two hot-boxes in which to store orders waiting to be picked up. On that day, it was impossible to find a place to put every order. Both boxes were filled to the max, so we ended up just putting boxes on the counters, which made for cold pizza. Plus, the full boxes made for high humidity which in turn made for soggy pizza and soggy cardboard.

#5) This may be a direct tie in with the above, but it was near impossible to locate an order at any given time. Tickets were mixed up and pizzas were everywhere This made for a lot of angry customers who were waiting for over an hour.

#6) The store was deadly hot. The crew, including myself, was working in a constant 95 degree atmosphere. Combine that with the crowd in the lobby, the non-stop sound of ringing phones and the smell of burning pizza. It was like our own little slice of Hell.

There are many more things that I can rant about, but it is nearing my bed-time and I must sign off soon. In conclusion, is there a point where a super special deal like that offered on our customer appreciation day starts to work against itself? The answer is yes. In my own humble opinion, we lost more customers on that day then we could have gained in a week's worth of normal business operation.

My friend Chuck presented the following idea for our next customer appreciation day. It is as follows:
Instead of honoring random people who will most likely never order again, why not honor those who are already paying loyal customers? Instead of passing out flyers to every house in our area, put out a special reciept to a week's worth of customers that allows them to come back on a certain day and recieve either a free pizza or a heavy discount on their order. Thanks, Chuck, for presenting this idea. It seems that common sense is no longer all that common.

Hey all,

Your actions describe who you truly are. If you behave in an upper-class manner people around you will assume you are upper class. If you behave like an uneducated city dweller living in poverty, you will be treated as such. Wanna stop being poor? Sop acting like it!

Today, in the alley behind CVS parking lot, a former store called ATN Fashions began handing clothing out to a crowd of poor people. What's the problem with this? Allow me to elaborate.

ATN Fashions was closed recently due to a fire in the store. The building is now condemned and is weeks away from demolition. The building's storage areas were flooded with rain water and several dead animals were found in the building. Now think about this for a moment. Clothes that were stored in a fire damaged building and soaked with rainwater and plagued by mold are being handed out to poor citizens. Are the people of ATN Fashions trying to help residents, or kill them?

Every single person that showed up to this sickening display of poverty was exactly that; poor. Maybe not of money, but of spirit and will. I have seen some of those same people wearing the latest in hip-hop fashions and shoes. They make themselves out to be such big shots. But when something is being handed out free, they turn into ravenous vulchers.

So much for Hamtramck. I say the city has dug its grave and is simply awaiting for more events like this to finally bury it.
