Please, go and read the article. I felt very sad at the same time I was laughing so my co-workers thought I’d got a psycotic episode. Now this is socialism in its full glory!
Tip from OBNOXIO THE CLOWN
I'm so sorry, Cautionary my old chap - I am getting so jaded and bored with raking up the slime and anoxic poisonous H2S-bearing sludge created on purpose by the Enemy Class, that I failed to do a harrumph about this: but full marks for you for doing so...probably more people read yours than ours so it's a benefit you got there first.
ReplyDeleteAt least the guy and his folks saw the funny satirical side of it.
Yeah, the family seem to have had a good time about it. It’s a comical thingy, in a tragic sort of a way.
