and if you teach a man to fish
he will stick it to the man for life
so i gave an informal seminar last night
at the banquet i worked
to the young kid from the temp agancy
he and his pal were demoted to barback
one was next to me behind the bar
chatting
when his gal pal rolls thru
infuriated at not being behind the bar
starts a fuss
im a bartender
thats what i was sent here for
this isnt right
theres too many dudes behind that bar there
indicating her friend and i
and the five other bartenders
behind a bar which needed three
so she gets put next to me
he becomes a barback
and shes all happy
about screwing her friend over
and shes in the way
and flirting her ass off
and people leave cash
which is good
until she puts it in her pocket
and that seems wrong
and i mention it
and she seems not to get the concept of shared labor
and whatever....
so shes basically standing in my right pocket
cant move
so i basically go into fuck it mode and start chatting
some people you just cant reach
we have 2 dudes
one recently dispossesed and bitter
pulling the knife out of his back
so i try to heal him
i relate an old timer banquet trick
i mention theres alot of people here
and its a big place
and that the bararound the corner has 1 dollar happy hour bottles
and no one will catch one
just come back to sign out later
that that would be the move that i would make if i wanted to stick it to the man
he and his dude dissappear
and a karma is satisfied
they show up a couple hours later
lie to the boss about pitching in elsewhere
for a change
and now the man has had it stuck to him
the little guy wins
and if the boss is reading this its PURE FICTION
id never do this
im a team player
i love my new job
i just like to make up lies about what a radical i am
