You can come over to my house and mow = the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my patio, and I'll pay you $50. Then = I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs = out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food." =20 She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in = the eye and asked: "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the = work, and you can just pay him the $50?' I said: "Welcome to the Republican Party." Her parents still aren't = speaking to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------- No virus found in this incoming message.
