Sharing a laugh

March 3rd, 2011, 10:43 am · Post a Comment · posted by

A reader sent this along today with the following headline:

“Sometimes a joke is worth a thousand op-eds”

I agree. Here goes the joke and thanks Kevin Farrell for sending it along. I needed a laugh, no matter the politics.

 “The CEO of a large corporation with interests in oil, defense and banking was seated at a table with a public service union member and a Tea Party activist. In the center of the table was a plate with a dozen cookies. The CEO reached over and grabbed 11 cookies, then turned to the Tea Party activist and said ‘You better watch out. This union thug wants part of your cookie.’”

 I found an editorial cartoon to accompany it. And Kevin ended his message with this happy note, which I wholeheartedly endorse: “Enjoy the beautiful weather.”
