Local Woman Delivers Knockout For Christmas
Elective Decisions ^ | 12/07/09 | Chris Davis

Posted on 12/07/2009 6:38:18 AM PST by writer33

Thornton, CO—In what was usually a scene of tranquility, has become a hot bed of controversy for a local department store. The once, peaceful Super Target at 1001 E. 120th Avenue in Thornton, Colorado, where shoppers bravely navigated the snow covered ground, has been turned into a store where Christian hating and bashing has become the order of the day.

The retail outlet, which has been increasingly antagonistic towards Christians in general, ramped up their hostility this week when the less than benevolent 52-year old manager, Jack Cass, declared on Friday “that he would fire the next Christian that said ‘Merry Christmas.’” Unfortunately, it appears to have been his last act as the general manager of the retail location.

A bit too much with the violence, where less is sometimes more.

You have to throw in those dead giveaways. Otherwise, it would’ve made it too believable. Thanks for reading. I appreciate it.

I must be dumb as a stump.

No. It just falls under the 'nothing surprises you category.'

Apparently, I unsuccessfully skirted that line. But thank you for reading. I do appreciate it.

Man, if only I could be a fly on the wall to see such an event.

I actually go out of my way to say Merry Christmas to everyone during the holidays. I ignore the JackCasses ;-)

“I believed it...

Nah, you just have a good heart ;-)

Merry Christmas!

It would have read even better had the Target store manager been named "Jack CAss"

Yeah, probably so, but I was trying to skirt a G rated line.

And don't forget to check out the letter sent to 75 U.S. Senators on Healthcare:

I fell for it too....just about ready to send to family/friends and read replies and discovered I’d been had. ;o) Good thing I checked it out a bit further...would hate to bury Target when they didn’t deserve it....

Too funny!! And I like the religious message that wishing Merry Christmas should not be actionable. BTW, here in South Carolina many checkout clerks say, “Have a blessed day!”

Does Jack Cass have a cousin named Al Kahalic?

;^)

An irony is that real events often sound so unrealistic that they have to be downplayed in stories about them.

I remember once, when returning a bad device to an electronics store, I mentioned that it was bad to a young woman working the cash register, and that I wanted to exchange it with a working unit. But by the time I had returned to the register, the cashier was crying and bawling, and an angry manager next to her was enraged, at me!

He demanded I apologize to her, even though I hadn’t done anything odd or belligerent to her. Utterly puzzled, I said “What for?”, and she redoubled her sobs and crying. He was utterly furious with me, and walked across the floor to confront me.

The floor was a little wet. He did a great banana peel slip and fall, landing with a very loud thud, which knocked the wind out of him.

Instantly the sobbing cashier broke out into loud guffaws of laughter, equally uncontrollable. At that moment, I decided that I really didn’t need to return the bad device, that it would be better if I just got a replacement somewhere else.

"I believed it....I must be dumb as a stump."

No, you're not "dumb." Satire must be based on some element of the truth of the matter in order to be successful.....and this satire was. In fact, it was uncomfortably close to the truth when one thinks about an Obama future!

An excellent piece of writing!
