Town of Braintree

a true story

one day i return home from work and a
thief has just finished robbing me of everything i own.i live next door to the police & fire stations and town hall
is across the street.i figure that this thief has brass like no other and i decide to reward him for the effort by
not prosecuting him.you see he has even left his name,address and a phone number
where he can be reached because he knows
i respect the effort he has made.he even
phones me later to inform me the toaster he stole gave him a shock and the blender no longer blends and he would like to return these items.
i realize that crime exists in other towns and god forbid i go against the flow and stand up for myself and family.
god knows i worked hard to pay for those things the thief stole,but...
i might as well let him keep them and
work O/T at the mill to buy new ones to keep the economy going.that seems fair
to you,too doesn't it?

our friends @ town/fire/police &

school don't seem to get it.they're
our neighbors,friends,even adversaries.
and their hands are extended for wage even though they know our community
needs road and bridge repairs;schools need roofs and boilers and supplies.
we are all wondering why their take home amount is more important than the job at hand.do they just have a JOB of is it a Vocation.if its just a job than
what's with all the extra perks and incentives such as training,Quinn bill,
vehicles,etc.if they fancy themselves jobbers,pay them straight wage and have their unions provide for their health and welfare.why does anyone at town hall need a town vehicle,especially a SUV?because their cool?come on-who justifies those purchases?the same guy that goes to town meeting asking for more police?or is it selectmen?does any one of these people serve the towns' interest?
not to long ago there was a word,known to all in its definition that required no explanation


NO NO NO NO NO

Q: WE NEED SUV'S>>>>> A: NO CAN'T AFFORD THEM.

Q: WE NEED RAISES EVEN THOUGH THE ROOF LEAKS>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A: NO TO RAISES;
WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE ROOF AFTER WARDS


Q: MY FRIEND TOM NEEDS A JOB>>>>>>>>
A: DOES HE HAVE THE CREDENTIALS
Q: no,why do you ask? besides everyone
likes him in town.
A:BECAUSE HE IS APPLYING FOR A SALARIED
POSITION THAT REQUIRES IT!HOW DID YOU GET HIRED?oops that was my fault(never mind)

ruminate on that awhile my friend
