Here are some more bits out of my book.... I had an interesting thing happen in Rite Aid today, the clerk asked me if I wanted to donate a dollar to some charity, and write my name on a slip of paper that they hang in the window. I told him that "I'll donate a dollar when they start paying my bills." He seemed quite taken aback by this. Then he offered "But if you donate a dollar, you get eight dollars in coupons." Now, my mind began doing the math on that. If I donate one dollar, and get eight dollars back, who is donating the other seven dollars to me? So I said, "How can they afford to do that?" His reply was not unexpected, "I don't know." I pressed the issue. "And why doesn't whoever is giving the money for the coupons just donate that money, and stop bothering us working people?" Apparently, this concept never occurred to him. I was bothered by the fact that a lot of people buy into this scheme. "Ooooooooooooh, look at me, my name is on a piece of paper, I'm a great fucking humanitarian!" I'm not against charities, but give me a fucking break! Donate, and be fucking quiet about it. Don't do it for the recognition, that shows me that you are a shallow, self centered asshole, who needs a brick jammed in your ear. Anyone who truly believes that "The customer is always right" have never had to deal with them. Something I've never seen in a porn movie: A flat chested bulldyke with a bald head and a strap-on giving it to scantily clad Norwegian transvestite, while a midget in a sailor suit masterbates in the background. Were you aware that the United Nations has an "Adopt a Minefield" program? I'm not making this up! I want one! I just wonder if I can move it from where it is, to over here where I want it. I want it placed at several busy intersections in and around Baltimore. Bet they won't let me do that. Maybe I could at least put it in my back yard. Heh, you'll obey that "No Trespassing" sign next time won't you, Shorty? "An American Airlines pilot was arrested and accused of threatening security personel at an airport checkpoint. He allegedly told them that he had an ax in the cockpit, and would chop off their heads. He did not return calls seeking additional comment." What kind of comments were they looking for? That he was going to sexually abuse the bodies afterward? That he had found a really good recipe on the internet and wanted a substitute for chicken? What the fuck?!?!
