Government "SERVICES"

[Clipper]

I have always wondered what Government services really meant. The dictioinary defines services as the following:

2 a: the work performed by one that serves <good service> b: help, use, benefit <glad to be of service> c: contribution to the welfare of others

I never was able to figure how Albany served me, or contributed to the welfare of others.

Just the other day I found the correct definition for "Service" and it all began to make sense.

I heard two farmers talking, and one was telling the other that he would bring his bull over to "Service" the other farmer's prize cow.

NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE TO ME WHEN THEY SPEAK OF GOVERNMENT SERVICE!

ha ha ha I like that. Now I know why we are screwed by the governemnt. I got it for eight years and now Medicaid and MHA still love to sock it to me.

Here is a beautiful example. For the past week I have been calling the MHA maintainence department to re-seal around my bath tub. This lady downstairs told me that the water from my shower leaks into her bathroom actually she yelled at me.. I told this to maintanence. After two days I called again and this young maiden who takes the work orders yells at me and says we can't just drop everything and get to you at the same time. She said not to use the shower for a few days.

The next day I called again and was again told someone would be over. Called again the next day and my work order got lost. The next day maintanence was running all over the place because my shower( ha ha) flooded the apartment below me. Justice is so sweet. Now I got to work on the leaky window.

Tell the lady downstairs about it and let HER start calling the maintenance department. After all, she is the one affected.
