Insurance, Urine & Chicken - oh my!

The following came from various friends or relatives.  Unless posted, I don't know who the original authors are, but I do agree with their thoughts.


1.  Paradoxical Thought of the Day....

"Fathom the odd hypocrisy that the government wants every citizen to prove they are insured, but people don't have to prove they are citizens."                           Ben Stein             

2.  TO PEE OR NOT TO PEE.   A bit crude - but makes too good a point not to pass on... 

Like most folks in this country, I have a job.  I work, they pay me.  I pay my taxes & The government distributes my taxes as it sees fit.

In order to get that paycheck, in my case, I am required to pass a random urine test (with which I have no problem).

 

What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.  So, here is my question: Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check?   Because I have to pass one to earn it for them?

Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet.  I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sit on their BUTT doing drugs while I work.

Can you imagine how much money each state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

I guess we could call the program "URINE OR YOU'RE OUT"!

Something has to change in this country - AND SOON!

P.S. Just a thought, all politicians REP or DEM, Should have to pass a urine test too! 

And finally, just to show that I have other interests other than bashing liberal government policies.  Enjoy the following:

3.  My Favorite Animal

Our teacher asked us what our favorite animal was, and I said, "Fried chicken."

She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone else in the class laughed.  

My parents told me to always be truthful and honest, and I am. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. 

I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA.  He said they love animals very much.

I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again.

The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was.  I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, just like she'd asked the other children.  So I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken.

She sent me back to the principal's office again. He laughed, and told me not to do it again. I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am.  Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we admire most.

I told her, "Colonel Sanders."

Guess where I am now... 

Oops, am I now bashing liberals in general.  By the way, in other posts I've mentioned my hikes in the Grand Canyon.  I was once asked if I had ever eaten a rattlesnake.  I've seen a few down there.  The answer is yes.  The follow-up question/comment was:  "How did it taste?  I've heard they taste like fried chicken."  My answer - "No, they taste more like California Condor, but if they're seasoned well, they taste much better than Grey Wolf"  


Enjoy!
