Your words above and you DID mention a homeless guy even it that's not
what the joke was really about. I read it all and although I know it
was meant to be some sort of joke, it just didn't come off as really
being one.


The joke mentioned parents too. And lawn mowing. And sweeping. Those
aren't the joke. One has to look too hard to find anything offensive other
than the running battles between democrats and republicans in this joke.

The trouble with jokes like that, (and all the rhetoric about bums and
people not working) around here, is that it's all encompassing EVERY
time.

Only if you look to make it so.


This newsgroup is still called rec.woodworking, but the vast majority
of messages here are whining of some sort or another. And you're
beginning to fit into that category quite nicely. Enjoy yourself Mike.

No idea what you mean by this Dave.


I know a number of people with some sort of disability living on
support of one type or another. Smart articulate people and they're
all struggling just to survive in the hovels that they call home.
They're not lazy and they're not shiftless. But, that doesn't stop
people similar to many of the whiners here from calling them
freeloaders and lazy.

But - do you know any democrats... or republicans? That's what the damned
joke is about!


Yeah I know, I'm on the horse again. Guess I'll always will be because
I know just from the grace of god, there go I.

You're going to become a democrat or a republican?...
