WalMart employee greets with semi-nude photo - Fired |
|
Dean L. Wooten, 65, was accused of greeting customers with a computer-generated photo of himself in which he appeared to be naked - except for a carefully placed Wal-Mart bag - and of telling customers that Wal-Mart was cutting costs and the sack was the company's new uniform. ... Wooten's application for unemployment compensation was rejected by an administrative law judge, who said ``a reasonable person would know the act of showing a naked body wearing a Wal-Mart sack would not be good for the employer's business.'' ... ``When I first seen it, I pretty near died laughing,'' he (Wooten) said. http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-4718588,00.html

1. Anyone want to bet he said "purty" insteadof "pretty"? |
|
Anybody that says "when I first seen it" most likely does NOT pronounce "pretty" properly :).
In reality he most likely said "When ah firsseen it, I purtanear died laffin." :) (spacing is intentional to give impression of actual speech) :)

3. I'm glad Wal-Mart employees have a sense of humor. |
