Yep, go figure. Since southerners obviously don't know understand
ice and snow, one of our 'winter Texans'/"snowbirds" from the NE was
tasked with that job. You know, one of those who collect
unemployment in NJ in the winter, while coming down here to work
until it warms up enough to go back. Unfortunately, he skidded off
the road when it rained here a couple of winters back and is
currently collecting both disability and unemployment.


Wait a minute - you guys don't really have snowbirds, do you? I
thought that everyone who migrated down to Texas simply stayed there.


Hopefully not. You know what Ol' Mammy sez: mixing a dog turd in with
your ice cream doesn't make for a new and improved dog turd.

As for the displaced NJ employee - well hell - of course! These
guys know how to work those systems. Disability is listed as a
professional skill on their resumes.


For a hangnail?!


Damned Texans. They just don't understand Persistent Hangnail Syndrome.
Quite an affliction. Second only to ADHD and OMIDFW Syndrome (Oh My- I
Don't Feel Well). Scoff if you will, but this critical syndrome will
adversely affect how well one can put their hands in their pockets and
remove them without disabling painful effects. Can affect on-the-job
performance (State Highway Workers), as well as the more emotional impact on
one's personal life (standing cool at the bar). Freakin' Rednecks - just
don't understand these things...
