Comments Made on Welfare Applications
Urban Legends Reference Pages

Posted on 12/22/2001 7:19:44 PM PST by Victoria Delsoul

The following are reputedly comments made on applications for welfare.

-- I am forwarding my marriage certificate and 6 children. I had 7 but one died, which was baptized on a half sheet of paper.

-- I am writing to the welfare department to say that my baby was born 2 years old. When do I get my money?

-- Mrs. Jones has not had any clothes for a year and has been visited regularly by the clergy.

-- I cannot get sick pay. I have 6 children. Can you tell me why?

-- I am glad to report that my husband who was reported missing is dead.

-- This is my eight child, what are you going to do about it?

-- Please find for certain if my husband is dead; the man I am now living with can't eat or do anything until he knows.

-- I am very much annoyed to find that you have branded my boy illiterate as this is a dirty lie. I was married to his father a week before he was born.

-- In answer to your letter, I have given birth to a boy weighing 10 pounds. I hope this is satisfactory.

-- I am forwarding my marriage certificate and my 3 children, one of which was a mistake, as you will see.

-- My husband got his project cut off 1 week ago and I haven't had any relief since.

-- Unless I get my husband's money soon, I will be forced to lead an immortal life.

-- You have changed my little boy to a girl. Will this make any difference?

-- I have no children yet, as my husband is a bus driver and works day and night.

-- In accordance with your instructions, I have given birth to twins in the enclosed envelope.

-- I want my money as soon as I can get it. I have been in bed with the doctor for 2 months and he doesn't doe me any good. If things don't improve, I will have to send for another doctor.

Merry Christmas to you! I hope you get a little snow in Bandon. You live in the most picturesque place on earth!

It will be 85 and sunny here (as always), thats if super typhoon Faxai keeps her distance.

I used to work for social services. Each year when we would get together for our annual meeting, they would have an award to the tech whose client's children had the most fathers. The one who won had 7 children and 6 fathers. She would have had 7 fathers but one was unknown.

The running joke was about the lady who came into apply for welfare, and was asked how many children she had and she said 8. The welfare worker asked her their names and she said Leroy. She asked her for the next name and she said Leroy. This went on eight times. Finally exasperated the welfare worker said "You didn't give all of your children the same name did you?" The lady said "well yes". The welfare worker asked her why and the lady said, "It makes things easier. If I want them to come to dinner, all I have to say is Leroy come to dinner. If I want them to take a bath all I have to say is Leroy go take a bath." The welfare worker said, well what if you want to call them one at a time?" the welfare cliemt said. "That is easy too. I just call them by their last names."
