Jesus and a Union Guy

Two managers and a union worker were fishing on a lake one day, when
Jesus walked across the water and joined them in the boat.

When the three astonished men had settled down enough to speak, the
first guy asked humbly, "Jesus, I've suffered from back pain ever
since I took shrapnel in the Vietnam war...could you help me?" "Of
course, my son", Jesus said, and when he touched the man's back, he
felt relief for the first time in years. The second man, who wore very
thick glasses and had a hard time reading and driving, asked if Jesus
could do anything about his eyesight. Jesus smiled, removed the man's
glasses and tossed them in the lake. When they hit the water, the
man's eyes cleared and he could see everything distinctly.

When Jesus turned to heal the union worker, the guy put his hands up
and cried defensively, "Don't touch me! I'm on long term disability."



It is easy to see that you have a prejudice against working people.
Rest assured if a guy was on long term disability he was disabled.
They go to great lengths to monitor anyone who might be playing the
system. Very very few if any get away with cheating.
This kind of prejudice is encouraged by the likes of Wall Street who
want slave wage labor.
In case you're wondering where the term wage slave came from it was the
North. In coincidence with the arrival of the Irish from the potato
famine the Industrialists got rid of their slaves which were expensive
to feed, clothe and house etc. They hired the Irish and anyone else so
desperate to work for as little as ten cents a day. If they fell, ill,
died or simply didn't perform they were replaced by one of horde
waiting for their jobs. They worked little kids, old women, and everyone
else worse than they would work a slave. If they worked a slave to death
they were expensive to replace.


Lu-ser is a marginal guy who also tells crappy jokes about blacks and
women. As such, he's given the "high five" by several other members of
the right-wing contingent here. I doubt he's done a day of hard, honest
work in his entire life, nor does he have any skills.
