Tammy Barsby left a two thousand dollar tip for all the staff at the local pizzeria. “I was moved to tears,” said Kimmy Bretherton. “I have worked at Uncle Sammy’s Pizzeria for eleven years and I’ve never seen anything like this.”
Owner Sammy Luciano said that Tammy Barsby had been a regular patron for at least the last four years. “There are still bright spots in our fallen world,” he said. “Tammy’s wonderful generosity will help us get through the dark times and brighten our hearts with the love of giving.”
“I’ve never seen anyone done something like that in my whole life,” said regular patron, Marcellus Caversham. “I’ve never done nothing like that myself. There’s usually three people working there at one time, so divide two thousand by three, whatever that is, and you get a pretty nest egg.”
Letter to Editor 1: I was moved to read of the generosity of Tammy Barsby. It’s certainly not something that the leader of the country would have done. He is a lying, deceiving box of maggots. In fact he probably is the real owner of the pizzeria and just wanted the publicity so he paid the woman to drop the tip off at the pizzeria. That guy can’t do anything unless it’s about himself.
Letter to Editor 2: The fact that someone had to leave a tip for an exorbitant amount shows what hard times we live in under the current administration. The government’s dealing with the economy leaves much to be desired, but if the other person had won the election we’d have a brilliant Foundation to help us all out.
Letter to Editor 3: I don’t know why Uncle Sammy’s Pizzeria gets the headlines and the money. Their pizzas are inferior. I own and run the Happy Family Pizzeria just down the road. Not only do we make better pizzas, but we don’t bleed off the general public like Uncle Sammy.
Letter to Editor 4: I work part-time on a Thursday evening at Uncle Sammy’s Pizzeria and you want to know how much of the tip I got? Nothing. It seems you had to be working at the same time as the tip was left to get a proportion (sic) of it. I deserve it as much as anyone.
Letter to Editor 5: I don’t know why everyone is so negative. Moan moan moan. That’s all I hear all day from these idiots who complain about everything all of the time. So selfish! I wish they would all get lined up against a wall and shot. The world would be a happier and more positive place.
Editor: This correspondence is now closed.
Happy Family Pizzeria would get better publicity if their pizzas weren’t so salty.

That Tammy Barsby is the one who should be lined up and shot. Who does she think she is? She should be giving money to people who could really use it.

I couldn’t agree more. Next thing she’ll be bringing coals to Newcastle.

Wow. You have outdone yourself this time. Very well done and, as I used to tel my kids years ago, it could’ve happened that way. Which is sad, but kinda true.

Oh sure, we all see how “generous” Tammy is. This was clearly a publicity stunt designed to fool people into thinking she’s not the narrow-minded bigot she probably is.

However, if someone offered me a couple of thousand as a publicity stunt, I think I’d accept it – grudgingly!

Personally, I found Marcellus Caversham’s argument to be the most convincing.

Marcellus Caversham is a dingbat. I presume you haven’t met him personally.

Sorry, I don’t have enough brain capacity to answer that question right now. I’m still trying to figure out what three thousand divided by three would be.
