Man and wife come thru my checkout and the man is trying to get his wife to pay by saying he is going to go get the car, wife says no way we had a deal. Then he tries to tell her he'll pay at Meijers and she says no that wasn't the deal. So I tell him he is standing in front of the shopping cart so he has to pay, he laughs and says you women all stick together. The guy behind his wife says "Dude, the man always pays. Thats the way its suppose to be. " So now this guy is laughing even harder cause the men won't even stick up for him.

Was too funny.

The Squirrel and The Grasshopper




REST OF THE WORLD VERSION

The squirrel works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building and improving his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the squirrel is warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.



THE END


THE AUSTRALIAN VERSION

The squirrel works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the squirrel is warm and well fed.

A social worker finds the shivering grasshopper, calls a press conference and demands to know why the squirrel should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others less fortunate, like the grasshopper, are cold and starving.

The ABC shows up to provide live coverage of the shivering grasshopper; with cuts to a video of the squirrel in his comfortable warm home with a table laden with food.

The Australian press informs people that they should be ashamed that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so while others have plenty.

The Labour Party, Greenpeace, Animal Rights and The Grasshopper Housing Commission of Australia demonstrate in front of the squirrel's house.

The ABC, interrupting a cultural festival special from St Kilda with breaking news, broadcasts a multi cultural choir singing "We Shall Overcome".

Bill Shorten rants in an interview with Laurie Oakes that the squirrel got rich off the backs of grasshoppers, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the squirrel to make him pay his "fair share" and increases the charge for squirrels to enter Melbourne city centre.

In response to pressure from the media, the Government drafts the Economic Equity and Grasshopper Anti Discrimination Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The squirrel's taxes are reassessed. He is taken to court and fined for failing to hire grasshoppers as builders, for the work he was doing on his home, and an additional fine for contempt when he told the court the grasshopper did not want to work.

The grasshopper is provided with a Housing Commission house, financial aid to furnish it and an account with a local taxi firm to ensure he can be socially mobile. The squirrel's food is seized and re-distributed to the more needy members of society - in this case the grasshopper.

Without enough money to buy more food, to pay the fine and his newly imposed retroactive taxes, the squirrel has to downsize and start building a new home.

The local authority takes over his old home and utilises it as a temporary home for asylum seeking cats who had hijacked a plane to get to Australia as they had to share their country of origin with mice.

On arrival they tried to blow up the airport because of Australians' apparent love of dogs.

The cats had been arrested for the international offence of hijacking and attempted bombing but were immediately released because the police fed them pilchards instead of salmon whilst in custody.

Initial moves to return them to their own country were abandoned because it was feared they would face death by the mice.

The cats devise and start a scam to obtain money from people's credit cards.

A 60 Minutes special shows the grasshopper finishing up the last of the squirrel's food, though spring is still months away, while the Housing Commission house he is in, crumbles around him because he hasn't bothered to maintain it. He is shown to be taking drugs.

Inadequate government funding is blamed for the grasshopper's drug "Illness".

The cats seek recompense in the Australian courts for their treatment since arrival in Australia .

The grasshopper gets arrested for stabbing an old dog during a burglary to get money for his drugs habit. He is imprisoned but released immediately because he has been in custody for a few weeks. He is placed in the care of the probation service to monitor and supervise him.

Within a few weeks he has killed a guinea pig in a botched robbery.

A commission of enquiry, that will eventually cost $10 million and state the obvious, is set up.

Additional money is put into funding a drug rehabilitation scheme for grasshoppers.

Legal aid for lawyers representing asylum seekers is increased.

The asylum seeking cats are praised by the government for enriching Australia 's multicultural diversity and dogs are criticised by the government for failing to befriend the cats.

The grasshopper dies of a drug overdose.

The usual sections of the press blame it on the obvious failure of government to address the root causes of despair arising from social inequity and his traumatic experience of prison.

They call for the resignation of a minister.

The cats are paid $1 million each because their rights were infringed when the government failed to inform them there were mice in Australia ..

The squirrel, the dogs and the victims of the hijacking, the bombing, the burglaries and robberies have to pay an additional percentage on their credit cards to cover losses, their taxes are increased to pay for law and order, and they are told that they will have to work beyond 65 because of a shortfall in government funds.



THE END

Hang on – they missed the most important bit…
The new Government, in an attempt to appease the remaining Grasshoppers which represent less than 1% of the population, waste the whole first day of resumption of parliament to say Sorry for giving the Grasshoppers housing, food, heath, education and an opportunity to be active participants in society. The Government propose to fix the situation by devoting even more of the Squirrel’s and the other victims’ taxes and interest rates to giving the Grasshoppers more housing, food, heath, education and an opportunity to be active participants in society.
The Grasshoppers thank the newly elected Prime Moron by suing the first State Government who says they weren’t at fault.
Because the asylum seeking Cats, Mice and Grasshoppers and media commentators have never worked a hard days work in their life, instead spending their time drinking, smoking, taking drugs, drinking and committing crimes, the hospitals are all too overcrowded to treat the Squirrel and Dog.
The Squirrel and Dog call for the overthrow of the government for failing to look after tax-payers.
The Government introduce a new Health levy on taxpayers to provide more hospitals, law and order and government housing. The Squirrel dies at the age of 66 from over-exhaustion while at work.
The Dog, refusing to pay 120% of his income in taxes, decides to move to Bali.

Yes, Irish, you can borrow it.

As usual, Daniel.

He's such a silly little boy. When he gets mad, watch out, but sometimes he just likes to pretend he's mad. He whines a little, fusses a little, and even "pretends" to cry a little, but you can tell that his heart just isn't into it.

So when he does that, I just say to the little fella "Stop, you don't mean it so just stop." In the middle of his mini-fit he looks up at me, pauses from whatever part of the tantrum he's throwing, and smiles as if to say "darn it dad you got me again, you're right I'm really NOT mad".

What a hoot the little fella is.
