That silly crowd at the “cathedral of conformity” has concocted another new doctrine. “Thou Shall Not Yell.” Penalty will double if you use four-letter words. Your red face will be used as evidence against you, Mullahs of that church say injustice and wrongdoing must be met with tranquility and a gentle voice. The trendy commandment is spilling out of churches across the country. All the sheeple are in agreement. Outrage is dead. Anyone who doesn”t go along to get along won”t get girlfriends and his business will suffer.
The decree applies to everyone: especially politicians, businessmen, school teachers and church leaders. A local church leader is in serious trouble; he hollered at a church member. Why [he did], doesn”t matter. He hollered and he”s guilty. He”ll suffer public embarrassment and possible unemployment. Thank God he didn”t use a four-letter word and his face didn”t get red.
In another example, a local shopper was alarmed when a store wouldn”t accept his checkcard. “Check with your bank,” said the grumpy manager. Fortunately the shopper”s bank had a branch in the store. His bank clerk verified the card to the manager, who didn”t want to hear about his store”s problem. The riled shopper was asked to leave. It”s OK for store employees to be bungling or useless. It”s wrong for shoppers to get upset.
Old-timers are alarmed at this new commandment. They know a blaring good bellow could turn dawdling laziness into lively ambition. Certain four- letter words convert clumsy ineptitude into clever ability. Red-faced outrage has righted many wrongs and corrected much injustice. Old-timers say laziness, ineptitude and injustice must only increase as the mad new law spreads.
