And of course...
Once you decorate yourself like that, and then can't get ANY kind of a job that doesn't involve leaning out of a window and asking do you want fries with that,....
Then you know where you go when you "can't ( won't)" work at job that pays more than minimum wage and only 25 hours a week, no benefits? ( where you find out ALL your co-workers are spending all thier meager funds on tattooes too..
....and then, one day not long after you're hired and everyone's compared their tattoos before being ordered back to work...(Fryer is ready!!!!) ...you notice the 45 year old co-workers with tattoos handing out fries and still wearing that greasy smelling uniform...and slowly it dawns on you....and it's too late!!!
Stars and teardrops and script on your neck has doomed you....
And the stuff on your back, shoulders and chest....Bible verses in flowing script, hearts, wings, angels,names of former lovers, flowers, sayings, snakes, women with long flowing hair,,,
Sheeesh, you wonder silently....WHY did I spend all your jing on THAT instead of getting an education????
So where do you go when depression sets in and those funny new moles start to change color under that ink....
Two guesses.....State office first, then apply online for Federal beneifits.
Then you get that little green card ( in PA) and can trot off to Walmart, and the person behind you who worked thier whole lives and didn't do stupid stuff can pay for YOUR groceries!!
But that tattoo script on your neck ( ridiculous sayings printed there FOREVER) and those little stars and teardrops on your cheeks and foreheads sure are cool!! ( or "Cute" if you're a woman!!!).
And before anyone responds that some billionaire tech CEOS have tattooes...there are 340 million people in the US...your chances of joining them in the C-suite is about one in 1,000,000,000,000,00.
Do you feel lucky?
Or would you like fries with that sir?
