TIPS ON WHAT TO DO WITH THE WAITER'S TIP?
And finally, from Ray T., a "lesson" in wealth redistribution:
"In a local restaurant my server had on a 'Obama 08' tie...When the bill came, I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.
At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient needed the money more.
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application."

LOL I had this in my email inbox this morning.

I really dont believe Obama and his tax thingy is as extreme as these emails make them out to be, but they are still funny.

I still believe that McCain is the best candidate (Obama could be okay with more experience-eventho I'd still vote for a conservative). But I've basically conceeded (sp?) that Obama will win, and I'm not going to be a hater, I'll give him my support if he wins and hope he does right with this country.

But hey... If Philadelphia can win a major sports championship, well that gives me small hope for a McCain upset LOL

The best thing for Barack & his family could be to lose the election also, with so many racist nut cases out there who want his head. I'd be scared to be the first black prez... & it is a REALLY sad and sick thing that this can even be an issue.

I think he is gunna coast in, but they will try to kill him within the 9 months after that. We are all gunna be very bored if they do it. Biden is Mr. Sominex. He has the charisma of a saltine cracker. They should spare OBA.

You know they make Biden out to be this great foreign policy guy that knows all..but during this campaign he has made so many gaffs...he looks like an idiot. It's a good thing the main stream media is in the tank for Obama/Biden or he could have been made to look like POTATOE.

Three letters JOBS........

The Phillies fan has lapses in judgement. McCain says he's the gift that keeps on giving. He is a little smarter than Palin though. She stayed at the plate until she made out.
