'Fess Up


During a car ride back, a few of us were contemplated the inanity of certain lines of questioning.

A friend works for an organisation that sends her to regular medical check-ups to determine her work-readiness because of an existing condition. This is all well and good since it is free for her. However, if she has any illness which can be linked to her existing condition, she is supposed to voluntarily send in a report to clarify this. Whereupon her pay would be deducted and she has to bear the medical expenses for that visit.

Now, the question we pondered was ... how many people would actually 'fess up?

"Yo, boss, like ... this medical visit was actually due to my pre-existing medical problem ... so like, you know, I guess I have to, like, pay for the bills myself & get my pay deducted, huh?"

I remember the first time I had to get a visa for a visit to the US yonks ago before they revised the boundaries of what is considered civilisation. There was a section that asked -

Have you ever been, are currently still or intend to be a member of a terrorist organisation?

I can just see hordes of individual rushing their ballpoint pens across the lily-white paper to answer,

Yes Sir, I am, have been & totally intend to be a card-carrying member of a terrorist organisation, so help me God.

Then there was of course the wonderfully PC section that asked blandly ...

_______ Complexion

which is obviously a gentle encouragement for peeps to write in brightly that they are white, brown, black, yellow, putrid green, dirty chartreuse etc.

Being the gentle, submissive girlie that I am, I of course filled in ...

Fair today, thank you for asking, but occasionally spotty depending on the time of the month

Now, this is not America-bashing as i have seen equivalent & worse all over the world.

So, 'fess up. Who's a rainbow-coloured terrorist among you with a pre-exisitng medical condition?

I was spotty last month and launched an all out offensive against the postule in question.

Does that count?

(btw, if you see an "eye" beside my handle, it's just me putting you on my Watched Blog list)



I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

I'm a member of the SLF (Scottish liberation front) but i'm just in the catering division.
You've seen worse than American immigration control? I don't believe that lol.

I'm a pallid, wannabe freedom fighter with bad knees.

Does that count?

Welcome to the blogs.

We would go on strike, but nobody pays us.

Ah, MM, of course you can postulate on your spotty past! Yes, I did wonder at why you were apparently giving the eye. But figured that twinkle in your eye was not of nefarious and dubious intent (fingers crossed). Did figure it meant you are watching me so I retaliated.

Ta to all of ya for your warm welcome.

Jake - Caterers are the biggest terrorists. Coming from a family of chefs, I've seen, er ... acts of mass destruction of such diabolical extent that Bush would have chocked on his Artichokes of Evil.

Gowerboy - It counts, it counts. Checking calculator as I failed maths repeatedly in school. Would count the number of times but that's beyond my paltry ability. Yeah, why aren't they paying us. Even monkeys get peanuts.
