Would they accept a decrepit 78-year-old who would love to good off for a year? I eat their peanuts. I'll put that on my resume.
ReplyDeleteBAck around 1969 I was driving home, quite tired and frustrated, after having taken delivery for my employer of a crate at one of the New Jersey docks. I had spent much of the day paying bribes to practically everyone in the place in order to pick up this box. Every operation required a different trade. A cooper had to cut it open but a box opener had to lift the lid, a checker to look into it, a something else to move it, a carpenter to nail it shut again, a loader to load it, and probably a spitter to spit on it, and all needed a payoff to put both feet on the ground. I think the official charge for the delivery was about 20 bucks and I paid over 40 in bribes. Off I went, box in back, head pounding, hours late, and this....thing....came up behind me. I had never seen anything like it before, and I thought perhaps I was hallucinating. At that time, I think the Wienermobiles were based on a 50's Chrysler of some sort. Anyway, that's the first time I ever saw one, and it remains one of the strangest things I've ever seen driving by.
