FU isn't Florida University
So I guess my last customer of the evening thought she was Dick Cheney and cursed at me because she lost her receipt. First she just stared at me with her mouth gaping open for an extraordinary amount of time. I thought for a moment she had gone into some sort of shock, and then I was horrified that a small insect might fly in there. Then she used the F word on me. She apparently did not care that there was a small child just a few feet away. I'm usually very nice at work - pretty easy to get along with. And most of the time I'll go out of my way to help people. I understand that people get upset with my employer sometimes, but when people swear at me. That's it, friendly is out the door. (and often they follow soon after) I told this woman to watch her mouth, and that there were still kids in the store. Know what she said? "Oh.. whatever." I know it's just a little four letter word, but if you have nothing better to say then perhaps it's time to increase your vocabulary.
And about Dick Cheney... Again, let's examine his vocabulary. I'm sure it's not the first time someone has cursed in the Capitol building, but this is just so indicative of the Bush/Cheney people. If you don't agree with them then they have two words for you. F.U. is not the abbreviation for Florida University. Let's examine some of the other FUs the Bush administration has provided:
Don't believe us about WMDs? FU, we're goin' in anyway.
Are you an American opposed to the war? FU, you're unpatriotic anyway.
Have a disease like Alzheimer's? FU, we don't need stem cell research.
Gay or lesbian? FU, you're a nobody that we can exploit for political gain.
Are you a veteran who needs health insurance? FU, we're decreasing veterans' benefits.
Lost your afterschool program for your kids? FU, millionaires are getting tax cuts.
Didn't vote for Bush last time? FU, now we can hack the election.
Frankly, I'm tired of the foul language for the evening. But since our top politicians are bringing it into style, maybe I'll use it more often. But I doubt I'll keep my job.
