OK FREEPERS!

This little ditty is making the rounds lately...probably going viral if not already:

"A CEO, a union rep, and a tea party activist sat in a room with 12 cookies. The CEO took 11 of them and said to the tea party activist, "Look out, the union guy is about to take your cookie."

That didn't live up to the *first half* of your FReeper handle...

So, just an A-.

Cheers!

Actual situation:

A union boss and a Tea Partier are sitting alone in a room with 12 cookies. After looking away for a moment, the Tea Partier sees only 1 cookie left on the plate.

“What happened to the other 11 cookies?”

The union boss looks around the empty room: “The CEO must have taken them.”

Thanks for the ping, El Cid...

Funny how a little stupid thing is being passed around by the Left as a parable that is, in their minds, illustrative of the situation.

When they choose to actually try to be witty, they open themselves up...:)

I had a lib use this on me last week via email, and this is what I sent back to him:

Except for the part that there is really no CEO involved.

In reality, the CEO is replaced by a politician who grabs ten of the cookies off the plate leaving one for the teapartier.

The politician then gives 8 of those ten cookies to the unionized public employee, keeping two for himself.

The unionized public employee promptly puts four of the cookies given to him by the politician back on the plate of the politician who now has six cookies.

The unionized public employee has four cookies, and the politician has six cookies.

When the teapartier opens his mouth to protest, the politician grabs the teapartier’s lone cookie and immediately stuffs it in his mouth.

The unionized public employee and politician immediately stand up, swiftly gather their cookies, and walk out laughing with their arms around each other’s shoulders.

While the teapartier watches in stunned disbelief, the waiter walks up to deposit a check on the table for 11 cookies, plus a bill for 102,000,000,000,000 cookies that have been eaten and distributed by the politician in the past, with a notice that his future earnings will be taken directly from his paycheck until the day he dies to pay for cookies for the union employee and the politician.

This is a stylized representation of the lib who sent it to me...

Hey, did you know that Ruger is coming out with a new pistol in honor of Obama? It will be named the “Union Worker”.

It doesn’t work and you can’t fire it.

That is what I have been calling the blue practice guns used in CQB training.

"A CEO, a union rep, and a tea party activist sat in a room with 12 cookies. The CEO took 11 of them and said to the tea party activist, "Look out, the union guy is about to take your cookie."

Well we sure as hell know the union had nothing to do with the existence of cookies anyone would want.

"Fine," I said, "Then I want to die after Congress get their heads out of their a***s!"

LOL. I got that in an email the other day, but it had:

"Fine," I said, "Then I want to die after the democrats get their heads out of their a***s!"

“Tea party guy says, “I don’t care, I bring my own cookies.”

Winner winner, chicken dinner.

[fanfan]

That’s what’s wrong with the sentence. Unless all of the cookies belonged to the company of the CEO, he wouldn’t take them to begin with. And if they did, he should have taken them all, and sold or distributed them as he pleased.

Exactly. It's like the story about the ten men who went for dinner together once a week, and paid the bill according to their incomes.

Nice to see you. :-)
