12 THE RURAL VOICE
Mabel's Grill
The
world's
problems
are
solved
daily
'round
the table
at
Mabel's.
"Can I get fired?" wondered Dave
Winston the other day.
"Fine with me. but you'd better
ask your wife since she'd be the one
doing the firing," said Molly
Whiteside as she filled his coffee
cup.
"Why are you wanting to be fired
today." asked Cliff Murray.
"Well I'm seeing how the coach
of the Toronto Maple Leafs gets fired
because he's not doing a good
enough job and now he's going to be
paid $1.5 million to do nothing next
year." said Dave. "I'd gladly take the
indignity of being fired fora million
and a half."
"Yeh," said George McKenzie. "it
could sort of be like the old joke
about winning the lottery: you could
keep farming until it was all gone."
"Well it may seem ridiculous to
get paid when you're fired for not
doing a good job but I'll gladly see
the government pay that OMAFRA
honcho his $150,000 salary for an
extra year if they'll fire him," said
Cliff. "I mean if missing the playoffs
is a firing offence. what should you
do with a guy who's in charge of
helping farmers who basically says
it's not a problem if half the farmers
go broke?"
"This is one of those times when I
think maybe the gun control people
are right," said George. "I mean 1
hear an idiot like that and I start
thinking it's a little too easy for me to
get to my shotgun. Hopefully if I did
get carried away, by the time I drove
to his office I might have cooled off."
"I think that's why so many of
these companies are moving their call
centres to India," said Dave. "No
matter how irritated you get with
them interrupting your supper, the
caller is out of range unless you've
got an intercontinental ballistic
missile."
