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.

LOL! Are you implying that non-union people are *not* working people?
What horse****.

One of my brothers is an investigator for insurance/disability fraud.
Plenty occurs, or he would be out of a job.


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.

True, but many try.

This kind of prejudice is encouraged by the likes of Wall Street who
want slave wage labor.

Oh, Harry, another sock puppet.

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.

Notice your continued use of the word 'were'? That should tell you
something.
