Retirement Job at Wal-Mart

As my retirement investments have taken such a beating this last year I thought I should look for some supplement income.

So after landing my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day ...
About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-spirited woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.

As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly, 'Good morning and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?'

The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, 'No, they ain't twins. The oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7. Why in the world would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?'

So I replied, 'I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am, I just couldn't believe you got laid twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.'
