Overheard At The Capitol
Wherein we listen in on a conversation between Guido Colby, union enforcer, and a Wisconsin Taxpayer....
Guido, " Psst, hey, you, come here once"
Wisconsin Taxpayer, gulping, "who, me"?
Guido, "yeah, you, get over here. I gotta message for you, from my boss."
Wisconsin Taxpayer, "yes Mr Colby" ?
Guido, "I love you Midwesterners, your so polite. Anyway, nice state you got here. Be a shame if something were to, you know, happen to it."
Wisconsin Taxpayer, "uh, like what'?
Guido, "Shut up, I ain't done talking yet, and you oughta know by now, I ain't listening anyway."
Wisconsin Taxpayer, "sorry Mr Colby".
Guido, "fagghedaboutit. That was part of the message anyway, shut up. Keep you your mouth shut, keep the payments coming, and no one gets hurt. Capeche?"
Wisconsin Taxpayer, "well I'm not so sure..."
Guido, "I said shut up! and stay shut up, cause trust me, you do not want us to do to Wisconsin what we did to Michigan. Am I Right?"
Wisconsin Taxpayer, "I guess not"
Guido, "yeah well, you guessed right cause take my word for it, the last thing you want is for me and boys to go all General Motors on your sorry ass. Am I right? Don't answer. That was one of them rhetorical questions. And besides, It doesn't matter if you agree. Never did. This is how it works, and how it's gonna keep workin. You got that"
Wisconsin Taxpayer, "got it".
Guido, "good, now be a nice, QUIET, little taxpayer, and get outta here.
