Things I Overheard

"*Psssh* Lee Harvey Oswald. The Kennedys were killed by our own government." ~Larry L. (a guy I work with)

I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I heard a very interesting lecture on the subject. Don't remember the details, but essentially the Kennedy administration wanted to break up the FED and replace it with something completely different. There is plenty of other parts to the conspiracy, but this particular fact always intrigued me. Quickest way to get to a greedy man's ire is to set your sights on his income.

Every once in a while you hear something that gives a conspiracy a little bit og credence, though you have to remember that most of the time it really was one nut job with a rifle.

That's what makes a good conspiracy theory.

"More people die from doctors than they do guns." Larry L.

If this were a competitive thread, I am pretty sure I have what would be the winner from work tonight. The guys get pretty goofy late Thursday night and we horse around a lot.

*Employee 1 and employee 2 horsing around in the shop*

Employee 1 to Employee 2: Geeze your're twitchy tonight.

Employee 3: Yeah, like prison bitch twitchy.

Employee 1: Well what is it Felicia, somebody catch you alone in the bathroom earlier and have some fun with you?

lol, that's awesome.

OMG I wish I could record the FoxNews (and worse) rhetoric that spews from Larry L's face on a daily basis.

Today he says Japan's issues are going to cause cancer in California in the next 2-3 years. (Now, this maybe true as it seems EVERYTHING causes cancer in the state of California. ) I'm guessing he has a stockpile of Potassium Iodide in his fallout shelter.

Well, in his defense it depends on just how bad things get in Japan. I don't think they are anywhere near a Chernobyl yet, but if stuff goes south the trade winds do blow towards North America from Asia.

Though like I said, I don't think they have actually had any radioactive materials explode out from their reactors yet.

Just some radioactive steam so far. Right now, it's somewhere between 3 Mile Island and Chernobyl. It's going to suck. But it's not the end of Japan.

"Tokyo's toast. It's going to be a ghost town. No one's going to live there except people with radiation poisoning going there to die."
