Mr. Man-ners (11): Smokers, Discrimination, Racial Bias, Breasts, HeatersQuestions, Recession, Employees, Hot Dogs, French Fries, Dull Life, Spit

Dear Mr. Man-ners:
I’m a smoker. I feel like smokers get treated worse than black people used to get treated before civil rights. They take all our rights away. It’s an addiction. Doesn’t everyone know that? It’s like being an alcoholic without all the weird mood swings!

Dear Discriminated Against Smoker:
It’s NOT at all like when black people used to have to deal with racial bias. Has anyone ever tied a noose around your neck for smoking (I’m talking literally here, NOT figuratively!). Are you an idiot or what? I’ll give you this, it’s getting to a point where society does tend to pick on smokers. Okay, I’m a smoker too, but I felt this way even when I was “recovering” (because like an alcoholic you never truly are “former”). I have felt that society (especially big business and government) tend to discriminate. While we smokers keep getting more and more taxes imposed upon us (this money goes to help EVERYONE, not just smokers) we also keep getting our rights taken away (for instance smoking in bars in Illinois will soon be illegal). A woman can breastfeed and expose her breast in a bar, but I can’t smoke? What’s wrong with that? I say if she can expose her breast, and I can’t smoke, I’ll use her nipple to reduce my oral cravings! Sound good to you? It does to me!

Dear Mr. Man-ners:
I’ve worked for my current company for years. They used to have a great outdoor space and provide heaters so employees could sit outdoors during the winter and get some fresh air. But after they moved (they don’t own the building anymore) they don’t give us anything anymore.
Why?

Dear Why?
Why are you asking such a dumbass question? Are you stupid or something? Or is it your ass talking? This is a recession! Right now companies have all the power. But in a few years the workers will once again rise into power. If they don’t, I suggest we all perform a coup d’état (meaning we throw all the pigeons we call politicians out of their nesting places!) and TAKE the power back. The point is that companies feel they can do anything they want to employees, such as taking away benefits, or making them pay more for the same benefits, or not providing the same humanity they once did. But this too shall change. I say stop your bitching or get a new job (if you can! But I doubt it with your attitude). Don’t get me wrong, I hate how big companies are treating employees--I just hate whiners more!

Dear Mr. Man-ners:
I ate two hot dogs and French fries for lunch today. What did you have?
Full

Dear Full:
You’re full of something and it isn’t food. You must really lead a dull life if you want to know what I ate today. To think ,you wasted a good piece of paper, stamp, envelope and ink to ask me that question. Are you lonely? If so, get a pet--preferably a deadly spider! Unless, of course, you’re talking about some man’s hot dog! If that’s the case--spit it out! He needs it back to pee! And if "hot dog" was a euphemism what body part are the French fries?
