Conversation at the Hardware store today
   
Edited on Sun Jun-05-11 09:36 PM by Angry Dragon
Went to the hardware store with the neighbor today and got into a conversation with one of the workers there.

He asked me how things were going and I told him okay. The sun was shining, it was a nice day and the people seemed friendly.
I have talked to him before but only about hardware stuff. He made a comment about a civil war might be coming. I am not sure where that come from but I found it had to resist. I told him it would not surprise me the way things were going.

As the conversation progressed he made the comment that the Federal Reserve was trying to cut Social Security and that they administrated it. I told him that SS had nothing to do with the budget or the national debt and the Federal Reserve had nothing to do with Social Security.

He did make a statement that I could not refute. He said that after the Great Depression that foreign bankers came over here with their monies to bail us out and now we owe them. I have never heard of this, anyone know anything about this??

We did talk about how to fix SS and I told him raise the cap or eliminate it and problem solved. Another customer agreed and said I was the only one he had ever come across that agreed with him on that solution.

edit: spelling 'they to their'

No, the money for Social Security comes from selling off shares of magic pixie dust, rainbows, and moonbeams.

Idiots, all of them.

What, no cop jumping out of the bushes?  How about an Indian?  Come on, this was a hardware store.  There had to be at least a construction worker...

You forgot the unicorn farts, they can be very valuable if captured fresh.

This was really boring.  No mention of a 'teabagger' anywhere in this story.

Grade:  D-

Zero bongs, since they were too stupid to bother editing the 'had' to 'hard' in the post, after they took the step of being pretentious about mentioning the editing of the 'they' to 'their'.
