I been wondering about something--

[Jackpine Radical]

Do guillotine operators get severance pay? I dunno what made me think of that. It just popped into my head while I was listening to Amy Goodman on something about the Koch Bros.

1. Oh my

[merrily]

2. .....

[rug]

3. "severance pay"

[kentauros]

4. I'm sure they do.

Just as trebuchet operators have signs for their doors to hang at midday: "Out to launch"

[Jackpine Radical]

6. How long you been waiting for the occasion

to throw that one in?

[kentauros]

7. From the moment I had this wet towel here.

[HappyMe]

5. lol!

I would imagine so.

[seveneyes]

8. Unless they are bad Sailors

Then they get docked.

9. I'd take a guess, but I don't want to stick my neck out. nt

11. Hey, SW--Long time no see.

You actually been having a life or something?

[scarletwoman]

14. Went on a trip, and did NOT bring my laptop along.

Nor any other electronic internet-capable device (since I don't own any).

So, yes, you might say I've been having a life - at least for a short while. Too short, actually...

10. I wouldn't mind getting a cut, myself.

[cwydro]

12. Some sharp wit

in this thread.

[Jackpine Radical]

17. Every one seems to be trying to

get a head in the competition.

[Solly Mack]

13. Only during cutbacks.

[First Speaker]

15. Nope, they're not in a union, so no severance pay...

...so of course they get it in the neck...

[Jackpine Radical]

16. Sad. Cut off without a dime

when their jobs go on the chopping block.
