Don T. Worry

I saw a neat sign today ........ in front of a church.

Don T. Worry

They forgot the apostrophe and capitalized the T with the period. Naturally, it was supposed to be Don't Worry.

I thought, what a great name, Don T. Worry.

Great name for a contributor to this column, along with Justin Other Smith.

Have not heard from Justin for a while. This time of year they get all their money from the government, for not raising crops. Justin finally got approval to NOT raise marijuana. He got twice as much as he would have for not raising corn. He knows how to play the game pretty well.

They live on the county, all their medical payed for, they own their own farm, but they get $1200 a month to pay themselves rent, another $400 for food another $1000 or so for their kids, plus all they get from the government for not raising crops.

He also got $16,000 from the Bureau of Land Management to not put in a pond, and is working on a program to get paid monthly to not stock the pond with fish. He recently told them he wanted to not raise fresh water shrimp, and is negotiating with them on the amount he will receive.

He even figured out, that if he would put the pond in, it would drain approximately 7000 acres of southern Ohio rolling hills, so the Department of Engineers is debating on the amount of Maritime Insurance he would have to purchase if he did put the pond in.

They have flown out a team of engineers and surveyors, and and GPS Survey Team, to evaluate the situation. It looks like he is going to settle for a large amount of money, to buy insurance, on a pond they are paying him not to put in.

Justin has already applied to the Obama administration, for a large grant to establish a Center for Voter Enlightenment in Southeastern Ohio. They have been given a partial approval if they agree to use courses and literature supplied by the Obama Administration.

There is also a stipulation that all IN SCHOOL conferences by the Obama Administration be aired, and attended to by all those who are enrolled in the VEISO.
