[Rhodes22-list] Free to Pee! Taxes

[Robert Skinner]

Thanks for that, Brad!

I can hear: "Will the honorable Senator Mumble 
please step this way and contribute a sample.  Your 
number just came up on the random selection machine."

I can see the sign that says, "Please contribute a 
sample before receiving your welfare check."

I can hear myself saying, "Sure, I'll pee in a cup 
for you - as soon as I see the lab results on my 
company's CEO and Chairman of the Board."

In my dreams.

The assumption that those with "front-line" jobs are 
the only ones who may have their performance on the 
job affected by drugs is demonstrably false.
