4. What's next?
Company founder Howard Weyers has said the anti-smoking rule was designed to shield the firm from high health care costs. "I don't want to pay for the results of smoking," he said.

One can only assume the next logical choice is to fire all people who are overweight to further reduce health care spending.

Oh, and suspected gay people, too, since AIDS costs a lot to treat.

Well, we're at it, women, too, unless they can prove they've been sterilized. Maternity care is way expensive, dude!

<sigh>
