Those poor kids at the Jiffy Lube - obviously they *have* to get this data for the corporate office, but they too exhibit an amazing amount of programming here. Not *one* of them had enough of a clear head to simply fill in "refused", or "John Smith" on his own. We have taken a real national resource, our youth, and trained them to act as mindless droids, devoid of even the minimum reasoning powers possessed by small insects, and I am, inexplicably, astounded.
I am what anyone with an IQ of 12 or higher would call a hard core cynic. But even I am surprised. Appalled even. And oddly embarrassed to find that things are not as bad as I constantly claim, but they are *worse* - MUCH worse than that. They are... I don't *know* what they are - but whatever it is, it is truly fucking evil...
More likely the kids were tripping on acid with a nice hash over coat. They weren't there at all, you just imagined them :-) Patience, persistence, truth, Dr. mike
