Here's something funny;


Several years back, Ed Koon offered Wayne a job just sitting at a computer
terminal listing used cars on e-bay for him. Ed would supply the computer and
program, train Chirnside to use it, even supply him with a bis pass to get
too and from.


At that point Chirnside first completely denied Ed had made such an offer,
boasting to his friends in Holysmoke that Ed Koon was a liar and had
`pretended' to make the offer, but really hadn't.


I (being the helpful person that I am) cross-posted Ed's message to Wayne
into Holysmoke for all to see. And a few of the regulars there (who, I might
point out, absolutely despised me) told Wayne that it was in fact a
legitimate offer of employment.


It was at *that* point that Wayne suddenly came up with all these `reasons'
why he could `never' take the offer, could in fact `never' work again; and
then the long, drawn-out stories about the broken back, the missing height,
yadida yadida.


And even if he `could' take the job.....he'd only be available for an hour or
so, since typing on his keyboard had to be done in a prone position, in his
bed, and he could only sit for a short period each day, and Ed would have to
buy some sort of special chair for him to sit in.....yadida yadida.


Now...out of the blue, Wayne suddenly finds that he can take a full time job
after all, and it will be working for a department of the U.S. government (of
all things), except he can't get the job because the prospective employer
found out chirnside was addicted to narcotics previously, and its all that
Ross Cassell's fault!


Chirnside pounded out all this stupid-ass crap on his keyboard for ten or
fifteen years, but its someone elses fault!


Wasn't Chirnside just recently the one who was pounding everybody's monitor
about this `stroke' nonsense? How he was `stroked out'?


Now suddenly he had a miraculous recovery, and `bussed' himself all over town
looking for a job. Stroke and broken back all disappear.
