A 65-year-old Wal-Mart greeter has been fired for greeting customers with a computer-generated photograph of himself wearing nothing but a Wal-Mart sack.
"I didn't have nothing against Wal-Mart," he said. "A friend of mine got the photo of the body off the Internet, and he had a picture of me and he put my head on it. When I first seen it, I pretty near died laughing."
Dean Wooten was fired in September from his job as a greeter at the Muscatine Wal-Mart store where he had worked for seven years, state records show. He was accused of greeting customers with a picture of himself in which he appeared to be naked except for the carefully placed sack.
Wooten allegedly told customers that Wal-Mart was cutting back on expenses and that the sack represented the new employee uniform.
Well, he sure 'nuf looks like a humorus fellow. Friggin' America, who says we aren't beautiful!
Earlier post to this thread was deleted, probably for bad taste, which is some kind of a record for this blog (sorry).
I sort of like the outfit. The plunging neckline is daring, and the smiley face is just about in the right place for those merry afternoons boogyin' at the Senior Center.

Rhod - The internet must have been belching during your previous comment, even your email addy came out wrong and the comment must have gotten lost. I have only ever deleted stupid comments from libs and spam on this blog.
I figure being offensive is a God given right since so many achieve it at birth!! ; )
