I took a homeless guy to the house..

Twenty years ago, you could walk into any store or business and ask for a bit of work "I'm broke, hungry and a long way from home. Have you any work I could do to earn a few bucks. I'll clean your truck, sweep the parking lot, tidy up the basement" and the owner could pay you cash out the till.

Nowadays, there's no cash in the till, just credit card printouts, the tax inspector would have his hide for paying cash unrecorded, the gummint would have him arrested for exploitation, and then he'd get sued by the guy who slipped sweeping the parking lot or banged his head in the basement...

The opportunities for instant honest temporary jobs really aren't the same now as a few years ago

So true.
Recently I went to the gov't employment offices to attempt to hire a worker to paint my home and they said that I would need to be a company that could do full deductions at source in order for them to help me.
Student employment offices also said that I would need to issue employment stamps.
The goal seems to be that temp student goals is to collect stamps so that they then can claim UIC while they study.
Crazy system.
So I ended up finding a hard worker that was on meager disability revenue that REALLY wanted to work. A rare find.

Life just gets better as you get older, doesn't it.
I was in a Starbucks Coffee recently when my stomach started rumbling
and I realized that I desperately needed to fart.

The place was packed but the music was really loud so to get relief,
and reduce embarrassment, I timed my farts to the beat of the music.
After a couple of songs I started to feel much better.

I finished my coffee and noticed that everyone was staring at me.

I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my iPod.

This is what happens when old people start using technology.

Dag Nab it StanR, I do believe you beat me with that one there.

Piloon, Be careful who you tell that story to, If the govt. finds out, they'll take his disability away. They are dead set against helping anyone willing too help themselves. They want our money going only to the laziest most worthless members of society they can find. So much so that their willing to create millions more of them.:confused 3:

A family brings their elderly mother to a nursing home. The nurses bathe her and set her in a chair at a window.

After a while, she slowly starts to lean over sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately straighten her up. Again, she starts to tilt to the other side. The nurses rush back to put her upright. This goes on all morning.

Later, the family arrives and asks, "Are they treating you all right?"

"It's pretty nice," the old woman replies. "Except they won't let you fart."

I posted before about a woman waving at me from down the street as I got out of the truck...

She asked if I like dogs and I said yes... then she said her little dog had gone two days without eating... told her to wait right there and reached into the truck and pulled out two packs of tender vitals... she got all in a huff and said her dog only eats people food!

A woman asked my mom for money once as she is leaving the store. She said she is hungry . My mom reached into the shopping bag and handed the woman a bread. She started to scream and swear at my mom and said she want money not bread. She ended not getting anything from my mom.
