Decisions, Decisions
I guess that there was a survey question recently in which they asked the respondents, "So, if there was a burning building and you had to choose between saving your dog or a person that you didn't know, who you choose?", and close to 40% of the folks said that they'd save their dog. Wow, I guess that people really do their canines...............................................................................So, who would I choose? I don't have a dog but I do have a cat and as much as I love the cat I would obviously choose the human. ALTHOUGH, if I did know OF the person and that person happened to be Bashir al Assad or Major Nidal Hassan or Sirhan Sirhan or basically anybody else of that ilk, I would take the cat.......Kenny G? Hm, yeah, I guess.
Surprised you didn't stick a dig at me in there. Such as, "if I knew the person was an unproductive member of society like wd... I might just save my cat and let wd burn".
ReplyDeleteYou're not a dictator or an assassin, wd.
ReplyDeleteInteresting discussion topic. I hope someone's delusions of grandeur and believing they cause everything doesn't dumb it down too much.

ReplyDeleteDervy would knock over three kids and two old ladies to get out....
Continuing to stir the pot I see.
DeleteGeorge Costanza in that Eric the Clown episode of "Seinfeld".
ReplyDeleteI'd save my family first...and my dog is a member.
ReplyDeleteYou would save your dog over a human being?
ReplyDeleteNo, I would my family member first.
ReplyDeleteJerry: how about your pet goldfish? Vs a stranger?
ReplyDeleteId like to think that I would save the stranger not the dog.
ReplyDeleteJerry would save Dervy before family,dog or fish.....he would fireman carry Dervy out of the burning building.
Now,a problem would arise for Jerry if both Dervy and Shaw were in the fire.....what to do....what to do...
ReplyDeleteJerry would be Marty Feldman
Dervy would be Gene Wilder
I'd lock the door behind me if Rusty was inside.
ReplyDeleteRusty: and how did Dervy's fire start? Chicken fryer?
ReplyDeleteI think that when Jerry gives this some additional thought he might reconsider.......And wd, again with the paucity of perspective.
ReplyDeleteThe Col.'s paucity is more than made up for by his poultry.
ReplyDelete______________________
Rusty: There's a fire. WD is in the crawlspace. Jerry is in the easy chair eating sushi.
Do you:
A) Rescue WD.
B) Rescue Jerry
C) Go home and write a 40,000 word blog post about Keith Olbermann.
D) Its the NFL pre-season. Leave me alone, I have pointless football to watch.
ReplyDeleteThe story was D....even though he had worked the fry station for six years at KFC Dervy made the foolish error of throwing frozen chicken parts in the hot grease....the rest,as they say is history.
A result akin to "bobbing for french fries" right, Rusty?
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteIm going to have to go with D on that one
ReplyDeleteDervy got fired for his foolishness at KFC...but do his extensive time in a paper hat business he quickly caught on with a gig at Popeye's. Now he has to say "regular or spicy" not "regular or extra crispy."
Looks like you reap what you sow, Will.
ReplyDeleteI had thought about steering wd in the direction of Starbuck's. I thought that maybe it would be safer for him. But then I realized - hot coffee, law suits, the fact that I like Starbuck's (50 cent refills on Tazo tea).......
ReplyDeleteI'm not entirely sure what that means, Jerry, but, OK.
ReplyDeleteWould a Subway be safe for him? Untoasted subs only.
ReplyDeleteOr baking (I guess that they bake their own grinder rolls).
ReplyDeleteCan he be trusted with the knives used to cut long subs in half?
ReplyDeleteAlright, there's gotta be some place where he can work.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteLets face the facts guy's....we will be supporting Dervy for a longgggggg time.
You know between 4 and 5% of americans are unemployable for whatever reason...he's in that group.
Rusty: the group that works low skill chimp jobs and feels they are entitled to $15 an hour?
DeleteYeah a sense of entitlement as a replacement for a work ethic. The code of the mooch.
Some place where the tools of the craft are school paste and short round-ended scissors.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe... you can't get into trouble with an Easy-Bake Oven, can you?
How 'bout access security in which he only has to check IDs and have people sign in and out (and hopefully not call the managers, plutocrats)? Surely he can handle that.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it isn't at a polling place. He is opposed to stopping voter fraud. He'd let an Acorn approved voter whose name was on a list 30 times have 30 votes. I suppose he could check IDs in less critical places....
DeleteLike, as you imply, an office building. Where the worst he would do is look the other way as Michael Moore slipped into the building to film a hit-piece.
I can live with that.
