DON'T SHARE MY WEALTH, SHARE MY WORK ETHIC
Saw this bumper sticker today.

Still cleaning the puke out of the driver's seat of my car.

3. For me, I would say, "Share Both"

But, then again, I am a hard working Democrat.

4. Jesus, I'd have rammed him
Edited on Fri Jan-15-10 07:52 PM by Warpy
I inherited enough to pay for the damage.

I worked harder than a shithead like that ever thought of doing. Ten minutes of a typical critical care shift would have had him sobbing in the corner and trying to bribe his way out of it. I got paid better than peanuts but without health insurance, it wasn't a living wage.

I just hope everybody who sees that arrogant bastard feels the same way.

7. Does his other bumper say, "Got Luck"?
You see, the people who work at Home Depot and another job, 70 hours a week (I met such a guy last week) aren't driving such nice cars because they don't have this jerk's work ethic.

wadda fucking asshole.

8. What an asshole.
People like that need lots of serious problems, immediately, to teach them some humility.

9. I saw that one at my gym this summer
It was on "luxury" SUV. I didn't have paper and a writing utensil. If I did, I would have left the following note:

It wasn't your "work ethic" that got you your "wealth." The overwhelming odds are that you lied and cheated, and stole it. Or, you inherited or married into it. BTW, you wouldn't last an hour in my job, you pampered, little pussy.


(My job this summer was walking 10 hours a day, in up-to-waist-deep, cottonmouth-infested, horribly mucky South Carolina swampland, complete with poison ivy, biting insects, briars and other physical unpleasantries. I made half of what I was making in the job I got laid off of, no benefits.)
