the other day, i was visited by a representative of some clean water or air
group who was asking for contributions to her cause. she whined on and on
about how certain companies were going to destroy the earth and other such
nonsense. she insisted that i should be grateful for the wonderful service her
organization would be providing me if i gave a donation. at the end of her
emotional, yet obviously well-rehearsed speech, she asked me how much i wanted
to contribute. i told her to wait right where she was while i got my donation.
when i came back, i had a little surprise for her. i brought out a styrofoam
cup and ignited a match beneath it. 'mmm, nothing smells quite like it', i
said, inhaling the smoke. she, annoyed, moved on to the next house, her clogs
banging noisily as she did so. hell, she makes more than i do, why should i
give her my money?
