1) Obtain 1 Sheldrake.

Academy if they're done with the one they borrowed for Macbeth.) Set
up a tripod, build a good hardwood (Birch & Poplar, mostly) fire, &
boil up a batch of water. Toss in the Sheldrake, and an old Axe head.
3) Continue boiling, adding water as necessary, for 1 week.
4) Add a couple of rabbits, Drawn & Quartered, and a Beaver Tail or 2
if you've got any around. Keep boiling another day or so.
5) Add as much Potatoes, Carrots, & other Root Vegetables as you can
stand.
6) Stew is doen whe you can stick a fork into the Axe Head. When you
can, throw away the Sheldrake and eat the Axe Head.


That's good! :-D

Fear of retaliation seems to be why so many WalMart workers don't argue
when told to do "off the clock" overtime. This results in many of them
being paid less than minimum wage; certainly less than the contract
promised.

Which continues to have nothing to do with whether or not there should
be a minimum wage.

Where is Jeff Foxworthy when you need him? Because that sounds like the
