Title: U.S.Welfare.....
Post by: GrayBeard on June 16, 2010, 11:49:09 pm

This morning I went to sign my Dog up for welfare. 
At first the lady said, "Dogs are not eligible to draw welfare". 
So I explained to her that my Dog is a mix in color, unemployed, lazy, can't speak English and has no frigging clue who his Daddy is. 
He expects me to feed him, provide him with housing and medical care, and feel guilty because he is a dog.

So she looked in her policy book to see what it takes to qualify.

My Dog gets his first check Friday.

Imagine that.  I could just see someone trying this stunt.

Very good GrayBeard.
True Story: Years ago here in central Florida, a man applied for a Hadicap sticker allowing him to park in the Handicap parking spaces, using his dogs information and recieved one. It was on our local news. They had to change how they approved people for the Handicap stickers.
