Doing My Part to Spread the Wealth Around
I’m so sorry to do this. I have a pile of guilt in my heart for doing this. It’s all because I don’t like talking politics. It makes people mad and sometimes you end up learning things about people you wish you never knew. Then your good friend becomes someone you don’t really want to hang out with anymore and suddenly you have drama in your life that you never invited in.
I feel this weight of guilt because in my inaugural post at Unsent Letters , I wrote my letter to John McCain . Two politically minded posts in one day is a lot for me.
Nonetheless, I was listening to Neal Boortz this morning and I laughed right out loud when he said there was a cut-out available on his website that listeners could print and use at their own discretion. It reads,
JUST TRYING TO HELP THE CHOSEN ONE
Here, just cut out this nifty little box and have a bunch of these printed up:
| Dear “Server”,
We truly have enjoyed having dinner at this fine restaurant, and your service has been exemplary. However, we have been inspired by the words of Senator Barack Obama and have decided to “spread the wealth around.” We have paid what we owe here, but we’ll be giving your tip, which you probably don’t really need anyway, to one of the less fortunate at some freeway exit ramp on our way home this evening. Best regards, Your grateful customers |




hahaha! what website?
It came from boortz.com in the “Neal’s Nuze” section.
