[Stiggers] Quell the Anxiety

Miss Doodle Mae: "Jojo just concluded an important meeting with the Jojo's Discount Dollar Store staff. The purpose of this meeting was to quell the anxiety of the staff regarding the Occupy Wall Street movement. The anxiety started after Nurse Tootie McBride's speech during the Ghetto Science Community Grass Roots Occupy Wall Street Solidarity Brigade and convoy to New York. Jojo volunteered his staff to help prepare for the solidarity brigade and convoy. This morning the staff wanted to know what the Occupy movement was about. As usual Jojo had an explanation."

Jojo: "The movement that you and I support is a struggle for balance. As you know, many in our community and around this nation struggle with economic imbalance. A minimum-wage worker can barely pay bills and afford health care. A college graduate, loaded down with a large student loan, cannot find a job. Middle class couples get laid off, lose their homes and do not have enough money to feed their families. Many people suffer at the hands of some insensitive, uncaring and greedy individuals. Therefore, your non-judgmental solidarity with the poor, middle class and common folk reflects the proverb that says, 'Whoever is kind to the needy honors God.'

"So, in the words of Bartles and Jaymes (the wine cooler guys), 'Thank you for your support.'"

Miss Doodle Mae: "Let the staff say, 'Amen, brother Jojo.' Now it's time to get ready for Jojo's Discount Dollar Store's Double for Your Trouble Customer Appreciation Sale."
