just received this in my email ... thought i'd share
JOB - URINE TEST
(Whoever wrote this one deserves a HUGE pat on the back!)
Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to
Pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the
distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.
So here is my Question.
Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their rump--doing
drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money the states would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?
I guess we could title that program, 'Urine or You're Out'.

This young lady comes from the Lapland region of Sweden. Sofia Jannok. She sings in a Sami language that is rather unique. Kind of a yodeling thing. Anyway...this particular tune called "Irene" was done at the Icehotel that Hannah and I recently visited.
Nice little tune with some freebie views of the icehotel. Enjoy.
