I went to Blockbuster last night to pick out some movies.

Somebody had applied Blockbuster labels with UPC to each box. On about twenty percent of them the *&%(*& idiot had stuck the label over the title of the movie.

I need a job where I can act like a complete moron and get paid for it.

Flip burgers. Idiocy doesn't seem to hurt them much. Better yet, run the drive-through window. You'd be a treat in that capacity!

As long as you're willing to work for minimum wage, that is.

Actually if you can stumble through a speech read off a teleprompter and beam inanely at the camera, there are lots of jobs available. We have a successful applicant at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Stumble is right! Ron. He is an embarrassment.

Right there, I doubt if he could even manage to stick labels on DVDs in the first place.

Hehehe... I asked a guy in a Sobey's uniform who was taking stock with one of those handheld jobbies at Sobey's grocery today, "Are there any ABC's of the XYZ's as advertised in the weekly flyer?" He replied, "I don't know. Did you look over there where the XYZ's are?"

I actually looked over in that direction and then turned back with a look of disgust on my face, ready to say something he probably would not have appreciated.

However, all I saw was him walking away. The back of his uniform T-shirt read, "Need help? Ask me."

I asked the next guy I saw. He said, "Right over here." It was a competitor's product at regular price. I told him I wanted the XYZ brand that was on sale in the weekly flyer. He said, "XYZ doesn't make ABC's." I showed him the flyer. He said, " Oh. I'll look out back, sir."

I think the lads went for a coffee... certainly, they didn't go for more customer service training. They may have actually came back sooner. I think they waited until I left.

"I need a job where I can act like a complete moron and get paid for it."

If you are American-born, have lived in the USA for at least fourteen years and are over 35, there might be an opening for you.

Ah yes, modern mediocrity strikes again. Do not teach your children to do a good job. Do not teach them to take pride in everything they do. Do not teach them that each person they encounter is special and could bring them something new to consider and cherish.

If you follow these simple steps you will create a nation of dullards and morons who think life turns on the words of celebrities and politicians, who think that their home nation is the greatest on Earth even though the evidence is all around them that it is dying.
