I'm thinking of going on food stamps so I can afford a Lexus |
|
What do you all think? I value DUers' opinions on this stuff.
Or would a BMW roadster be better???

1. I don't think you can do it |

without drawing either welfare or social security as well.

3. Welfare mothers in Cadillacs |

Probably the most racist thing ever uttered (in public) by a US PResident.

32. One of my neighbors was a welfare mom in a Cadillac |
|
Edited on Tue Mar-07-06 12:31 PM by StopThePendulum
When I was a teen back in the '70's, welfare fraud was rampant. One of my neighbors was on welfare and was seeing this guy who showered her with gifts, including a new Cadillac, provided she look the other way while he cheated on her right and left.
This neighbor also threatened anyone who reported her with the death of them and their families. Talk about intimidating witnesses!
This is proof that the myth of the welfare caddy is based on a kernel of truth. This broad fit the stereotype!

11. Yes, I'm fine, thanks |

It's just, twice now in recent days I saw you apparently take an obviously sarcastic post at face value, and reply testily. Also you told me a few days ago I was not being nice and didn't respond to my PM. And we haven't been seeing you. I have been concerned about you.

24. Okay, I just called about this: I CAN do this, but |
|
I have to have food stamps, disability, WIC, AND be on the free lunch program. Maybe if I dye the grey out of my hair and get some clothes at Pac Sun I can swing that one...
God, It's so cool that Reagan was right all those years ago. I feel so ashamed of myself for doubting him.

27. Ronald Reagan always knew what was best for you... |

why the hell didn't you listen to him.
Maybe it's St Ronnie looking down from the heavens trying to lead you down the path of righteousness. Have you told your partner yet about this miraculous change?

Yes, I told my partner. She asked me if I had gotten into the Vicoden left over from her oral surgery. I just ignored her and started watching Benny Hinn. I think she may be going to hell.

33. Do they still hand out free cheese and butter? |
|
We had a big stink in this town in the mid 90's about people having to stand in the sun while they waited for their free government cheese and butter and how inhumane it was for them. Never mind the poor assholes out there working in the hot sun cutting grass or up on a roof for a little more minimum wage.

All the health care I want! So, I've having that done, maybe a LITTLE lipo (am not getting any younger, you know!)... some veneers for my teeth. A bunch of elective surgery -- I mean, who the heck needs their tonsils, right???

In the first place, they don't issue stamps anymore. It's a debit card looking thing and I hear it's like those FEMA cards, free money no questions asked. You should buy a Hummer.:rofl:
