Cats and Coupons

Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were.

The first man was an Engineer,

The second man was an Accountant,

The third man was a Chemist, and

The fourth man was a Government Employee.

To show off, the Engineer called his cat, ‘T-square, do your stuff.’
T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle.

Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.

But the Accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, ‘Spreadsheet, do your stuff.’

Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies.

Everyone agreed that was good.

But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, ‘Measure, do your stuff.’

Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured
Exactly 8 ounces into the glass, without spilling a drop.

Everyone agreed that was pretty good.

Then the three men turned to the Government Employee and said, ‘What can your cat do?’

The Government Employee called his cat and said, ‘CoffeeBreak, do your stuff.’

CoffeeBreak jumped to his feet…….

Ate the cookies…….

Drank the milk…….

Shit on the paper…….

Screwed the other three cats…….

Claimed he injured his back while doing so…….

Filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions…….

Put in for Workers Compensation…………….and

Went home for the rest of the day on sick leave…………

AND THAT, MY FRIEND IS WHY EVERYONE WANTS TO WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT.

Merry Christmas!
May you have a safe and happy holiday.

Would you travel 300 miles to save some money? My family does. We found a dealership in New York where we’ve been buying all of our vehicles for several years now. They sell new and used cars, but none of us buy new cars anymore. They’re not worth it, but that’s a whole different post. All together my family has bought seven vehicles from them. They offer no haggle pricing, with a simple small amount over invoice. My Dad went up back with my brother and his wife earlier this week. For me, that’s crazy. Each time I’ve gone up we priced some cheap hotels and spent one night up there. We were more relaxed and had some fun. And, my Mom even gets to shop that way. When I bought my truck I saved about $8,000 than if I’d bought the same vehicle here. Well worth the travel, don’t you think?
