‘Snide Remarks’ deals with giving
Welcome back! I hope you were able to turn Thanksgiving into a five-day weekend, the way the Pilgrims intended. I don’t know why Thursday was originally chosen for Turkey Day, but it was a genius move. It leads naturally to taking Friday off, too, and heck, you need Wednesday for a travel day, so you’re pretty much down to a two-day work week. If you worked last Wednesday and/or Friday, you’re a chump. Do you hear me? A chump!
Anyway, this week’s “Snide Remarks” is rather embarrassingly entitled “You Panhandle the Truth!” (audio version is there too, and also here), and it’s about donations and charities and things such as. Enjoy, won’t we?

It’s interesting that most people want off the Friday after Thanksgiving but then also want all the stores opening as early as 4am and filled with employees who presumably DON’T get off the Friday after Thanksgiving.

…thus we see that retail employees are chumps. It’s all part of the economic ladder, you see — chumps are near the bottom, just under panhandlers. (Panhandlers took the whole 5 day weekend off.)
