Let me guess, they need to raise tobacco and alcohol taxes to pay for them, right?
In a somewhat unrelated, but related manner, just today I received an advertisement from Scott's Corporation asking me to sign up for their lawn care service. I'm sure you all recall them as being one of the companies that have decided to test employees for off the job tobacco use and fire them if they ever smoke, anywhere.
Being the evil smoker I am, I sent it back with "WARNING: Sent by a smoking household" on the outside of the envelope. Inside, instead of the application order sheet, I wrote the following in a note; "Thank you for considering me for this service. However, I feel compelled to decline due to my being a tobacco user and your companies senibility against tobacco. As you are so concerned about the use of tobacco, a legal product, I would not like to subject any of your employees to my smoke. Again, thank you for thinking of me and I sincerely do regret my having to sever our over 30 year relationship of my using your product."
VERY well done!
Bump!
