I'm only one man, there's only so many people I can piss off in one day. Although, thanks to the internet, my production has gone up nicely.

Part time job... Joke of the week

As many of you know, I had ambitions of finding a simple, uncomplicated part time job when I retired from my 'day job'. Unfortunately, as I have gotten a little older, I have become a little less sensitive. So as a try-out, for a job as a Wal-Mart greeter on the weekend, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day......

About two hours into my try-out day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly, 'Good morning, and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?'

The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, 'Hell no, they ain't twins. The oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?'

So I replied, 'I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am. I just couldn't believe you got laid twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.'

My supervisor said I probably wasn't cut out for this line of work!
