The $50 Lesson

Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?" She replied... "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people." Her parents beamed with pride! "Wow...what a worthy goal!" I said. "But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that!" I told her. "What do you mean?" she replied. So I told her, "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50. Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out and give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house." She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?" I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party." Her parents aren't speaking to me anymore.

My neighbor had some explaining to do. Seems that some one saw him trying to pick up a little girl by offering her candy. Well as it turned out after the cops got there, it seems that is the only way he can get his daughter in the new Chevy truck, something about not being a FORD like they use to have.

She must be related to Highboy.

No,,, no,,, you'd have to pay me at least $50.00 to get into a GM product, candy just won't do it. Hey, but I would get into Glens ride. man, I would look stunning in that beautiful car. Just stunning.

That's very sad, she obviously had an inferiority complex and felt she had to settle for a Ford, but with counseling, she'll realize that she does deserve the better things in life like a Chevy.

I seem to remember somebody saying that if he ever came to see me that I HAD to give him a ride in one of the Vettes. Not sure who that person was but he had ice cream dripping from his chin. {at least I hope it was ice cream} LOL
