1938 Packard

Okay... so it's 192 square miles of development opportunity for people who can grease the right palms. The map will some day need revisions.

I know what it is. Don't count on it being intact when you reach my age. Gotta make way for more asphalt.

Mmm... smells good.

So, is it a bamboo forest or not?

He got all wound up.

So? Is this a picture of the great bamboo forest, where the pandas make their habitat?

Okay... so you can show me the very same veneer as the kind found along turnpikes and.parkways and call them forests. Good for you.

In other words, they never did find cause. That's part of why I've been here long enough to see its ownership turn over a few times.

How far to the Turnpike from there?

It looks like a creek running past a stand of trees. Nice veneer for the camera, if I do say so myself. Show me the helicopter shot from the same location.

Then, I should have been fired in my first week.

Alright... does THIS look like a forest to you?

The key word is "cause". Anyway, I've been around long enough to see a few people get their pensions after being fired... because the union decides that matter.

Why would getting fired affect it? The union has the final say in my eligibility, not the employer.

Too late for that. I'm already 100% vested.

Why would I lose the job?

I'm not answering that.

Let me see whether the government declares a jubilee.

Getting fired won't affect my pension.

So, never mind the facts, what is "large" to you?

A forest isn't made of asphalt.

Square yards are small, acres are medium and square miles are large.

The company doesn't own or manage the pension accounts. The union does. The union has the final word in my eligibility to collect. The company is not authorized to withdrawal from the accounts, write checks, borrow from the accounts or close the accounts. The company is only authorized to deposit into the accounts.

"A large area of land, covered chiefly by trees and brush" Notice the key word is, "large". I gather you don't know the difference between square yards and square miles.

With your chartreuse complexion and gourd like nose?
