Thread: They voted for change...... I gave it to them.

Got this in an email.

Dear Employees:


As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way..

To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead.

This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.

So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change...... I gave it to them.

I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

That is great, April!
I used to torture my boss, who had a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker, and I would print out a Hilary in 2008, grab the scotch tape and paste that over his Bush/Cheney. It took him a few days to catch on and meanwhile he had been promoting Hilary wherever he went. I guess what gave it away was when I pasted one on his office door.
Moral of the story is, when vortex is around, check your bumpers.

Save the whale...kill yourself...
