    This was too funny
    Mood:  mischievious
    Some years ago, I got screwed out of over $3200 in back wages at one job. I took the corporations involved with the radio station where I was working to court. One corporation was a "ministry" that refused to admit to owing any money. He was pretty slimy about his responsibility to myself and other employees. He perjured himself in court and was able to beat the lawsuit. Everyone in the room knew that he was lying, and he was sweating "like a whore in church". Actually, that is what he is, just in a different way.

    As y'all may know, I have my web site up and running. As I wrote on my other blog, the site was featured in the "News and Observer" on Wednesday. Since then, I have gotten a steady stream of traffic.

    I got an email this morning that just tickled me no end. Here is what it said. I will hide the name of the sender, since he had no part in the earlier "screwing".

    Subject: Advertisement cost

    I go to the Light of Christ Outreach Center. How much would it cost to put a link to our website, and or an advertisement on your site? In addition to the church, the music ministry has started a music academy with professional teachers. I told the music director I would be keep my eyes open for innovative ways of publicizing it, so let me know about that too.

    The website, if you want to look, is www.thelightofchrist.org.

    By the way, I think your website is an idea whose time has come. We used to go to 4042.com, but it never really meant that much to me because it was way on the other side of the county. I just registered, so you may notice that my location is...

    The rest of the email is irrelevent to the point here. Wow, this is got to be my favorite eposide of "The Twilight Zone". Here was my reply:

    Subject: Re: Advertisement cost

    Putting a link on the site is free for right now. You are also welcome to use the classifieds section to put up an ad free, as well. The same for our "add a link", which can be done from the links page. These services are free to all. If you want a banner type ad, Gene Bruton can write me a check for $3219.25, the amount he still owes me in back wages.

    The only reply was "Thanks. I passed the information along." I passed this along to a few friends who were also screwed over by that same pastor. I have already gotten positive reviews.
