A public union employee, a teabagger, and a CEO

[guitar man]

“A public union employee, a teabagger, and a CEO are sitting at a table with a plate of a dozen cookies in the middle of it.

The CEO takes 11 cookies, turns to the teabagger and says, ‘Watch out for that union guy. He wants a piece of your cookie.’ “

1. I glad to see this making the rounds

Saw it on CNN last night as 1 of the comments sent it

It puts it in simple enough terms so even TeaFarty members can understand it

2. Funny, but posted at least 4 times yesterday.

It is our new, "How many is a Brazilian?" joke.

3. And I'm sure at least another 4 times today. n/t

10. It's a lot more than four

I googled at 5 pm yesterday, and there were 7 threads quoting it by then. There was at least one more by the time I went to bed.

I haven't even looked today, but I'd be surprised if this was the first.

Good joke, though. :-)

6. Kind of reminds me of something...

“A public union employee, a teabagger, and a CEO are sitting at a table with a plate of cookies in the middle of it.

The CEO comments to the other two, "There are a brazilian cookies on the table, of which I get 11"

"Oh No" exclaims the teabagger. "That's terrible."

The CEO and the Union Employee sit stunned at this display of emotion, curiously watching as the teabagger sits, head in hands.

Finally, the teabagger looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

9. Facebook too. I've seen it a Brazilian times this week.

11. Me, too. Even Credo Mobile has it as its FB status. LOL n/t

[Blue-Jay]

12. Then as he walked out, the CEO fired the cookie-baker.

He found someone who could bake cookies cheaper in China.

14. I know this "joke" is not mine; but ...

I'd like to take the liberty to change it just a bit, to read as follows:

"A public union employee, a non-union private sector employee, a teabagger, and a CEO are sitting at a table with a plate of a dozen cookies in the middle of it.

The CEO takes 9 cookies, the teabagger gives the CEO 2 more, then the CEO turns to the teabagger and non-union private sector employee, and says, ‘Watch out for that union guy. He wants a piece of your cookie."

I think that more accurately reflects what's going on in WI and OH (and the rest of the nation).

15. This joke has the potential to become the next brazillion joke

Yes indeedy.

16. Somehow the CEO is entitled to all the cookies

I made it my facebook status a couple days ago and I was kind of surprised by the people who attempted to explain that the CEO built the bakery and employed the union workers who's excessive pay caused the CEO not to be able to cover the Teabagger's pension, and that's why the CEO is is entitled to all the cookies but is actually leaving a cookie out of the goodness of his heart because rich people give more to charity than poor workin' folk.

I wish facebook had a :eyes:
