Prepare Yourself For It. July Is The Time.

HuH!?
What time is it?
Did I oversleep again?

August?!
Another strike?
Again?!

Bummers!
I just put my
Will Work For Miles
sign back in storage.

I guess we COULD, .......... but who can afford to go to Europe?

YeAH!
They could be constructive and organize a
quilting circle --- that EVERYone could do at the same time.
That'd be pretty
cool.

YeS SiR!
Fix bayonets and STRIKE!
Show 'em no mercy.

Take what?
Their oil?
All the more for China.

WhAT WERE they thinkin'?!

The hail you say?

I know!
Let's be ready and waitin' for 'em.
They won't take US by surprise
like all these strikes seem to.

Do we really have THAT much time?
I'm thinkin' we oughta have a knee jerk reaction sooner than that if we plan on gettin' ANY attention.

I'm easy to please.
I'd settle for just ONE (answer).

If you still have a life-line left, I'd use it now.

Me neither.
I think it reflects the additional costs of champaign consumed by the Big Oil moovers and shakers.
SOMEbody has to pay for it.

Didn't that happen just after the stone-age?

Better make that 3 things.
I think "supply" fits in there, somewhere.

They DID?!
Hmmmmmmmm
Well,........... let's do the SAME thing with
freight rates while nobody's lookin'.
Who's fault would THAT be?

Those waskels!

Ol' GWB might be interested ---
after the election.
But, who'd hire a lame duck?

If ALL the truckin' company drivers went on strike, could Jerry, or any of the OTHER big company big-wigs really afford to fire ALL their drivers?
And, if they did, with ALL those empty Big truck truck seats, how hard do you reckon it'd be to find another Big truck truckin' job pretty quick?
I'm thinkin' it'd be pretty easy with ALL the truckin' companies sufferin' from a REAL driver shortage.

Ok, I'll bite...........
what's the punch line to that joke?

And, if we DID drill our own freaking oil, doncha reckon we'd be sellin' it AT market value?
Not below.
But, remember, a LOT of that freaking oil of ours is in our freaking Strategic Oil Reserves --- which are there in case of a freaking war, and we can't get any freaking oil from anywhere else.

I think you're right.
Just the other day, at a full-serve gas station, I saw a Congressman pumping customers full of gas.

Don't hold your breath.
Then again, perhaps you should if there's all the B/S around.

Ain't that capitalism?
Is that legal?

The public?
Absolutely they pay attention, ...........
for about 15 seconds during the sound-bite between gang violence and the ball game scores.
But it only takes 'em 7 1/2 seconds to forget it. So I doubt they even log it at all.

Well, ....... for starters, I pay taxes.
Lots and lots of taxes, ......... which mostly goes to programs that support illegal aliens.

B I N G O !!

Well there ya go!
Y'all wanted a "strike" ----- and y'all just received
Strike ONE.
Or, is it TWO?

Frankly, in all that excitement, I lost track.

Thanx Mastertech for keepin' score.

 

If you dont take the strike serious and you and someone else on here are making good money living high on the hog.Then how come you and him get on every strike thread and try to convince everyone just how smart and rich you and him are.Its down right childish.
