314.0. "You too can earn more..." by KAOO01::BORDA (On the Horns of an Enema) Wed Jun 06 1990 12:51

    
    Here's one that will burn your hinneys to no end.
    
    The federal retirement home...(aka the senate) decided in their
    infinite senile wisdom to vote themselves a meger $153.00 a day
    for showing up to sleep..err..I mean sit...no...I mean nod their heads.
    This is on top of their pathetic $62,000 a year salary and $9,800
    expense account.Oh yes..of course the $153.00 a day is tax free.
    
    This little piece of kaka was followed by Michael(I'm not personally
    concerned about inflation)Wilson saying...the people of Canada should
    not demand wage large wage increases because it will lead to more
    inflation...yeah right..like the GST won't be inflationary eh???

314.11Why $153????MQOFS::DESROSIERSLets procrastinate....tomorrowFri Jun 08 1990 13:107
    At least it's a proof that they are not COMPLETELY stupid, if we could
    do the same thing, we would.  I wonder how they got to the $153, why
    not $150?????

Ooooh, you devil, you!  You should have asked for Y straight away,
it would be hard to keep a good man down especially with the 
solution in hand!
314.17OTOU01::BUCKLANDand things were going so well...Wed Jun 27 1990 18:298
    Let me Xplain.
    
    I did ask Y, and she said Y not it's E Z, and U R going to like this.
    
    So I said "O what the L, B gentle with me".
    
    I could C there was A Q, so I had a cup of T.  Soon I thought, "G I 
    shouldn't have had that T, now I need to take a P".
