THE MAN and Christmas Cards

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Somethings been bugging me since high school and it is THE MAN. This is supposedly the head of THEM. The Big Cheese. The Head Honcho. The guy who lives in the shadows corrupting souls to the dark side. He is found everywhere from music (selling out to THE MAN) to race relations (THE MAN’s keeping me down).

THE MAN has his own place in our language but who is he? How do I go about selling out to THE MAN? Can I get the THE MAN off my back? Should it be THE MEN? or THE PEOPLE? Is it really the Prince of Darkness or something more sinister? What perks come with being THE MAN? Is he more powerful than the president? Does he sleep? Where does he live?

Most importantly, if I wanted to send him a Christmas card, who do I address it to? I do want to get on his good side.

So many questions, so little imagination.

I think if you have to ask, it means you The Man.

Merry Christmas.

Actually, I met The Man once. He was a nice guy, seemed a little bewildered at all the fuss over his programs, but otherwise just smiled and said he had it under control.

I feel SO much safer having met The Man. One word, tho… just send a “Happy Holidays” card. He frowned when I asked about Christmas cards…

I beleive that you can address it to:

The Man

I don’t think a zip code is necessary, since the Man owns the Post Office as well.

I have met The Man.

If you’re ever in Bellevue, I’ll take you to Dixie’s BBQ and you too will meet The Man: the hot sauce that burns you twice.
