25% (not just the mere 10% off the top), and then to add bleeping insult to settin'-in-th'-dark (ta save on juice) injury, he went on saying, to get out of debt. Oh, how bleeping so - being financially VEXED like that, every bleeping Sunday. And one other thing, where's the 20 bucks gonna come from - to slip yer co-worker...uh, the one who's in a jam - and has a kid to feed?
Tell him or her to go to church for help. Hah! He or she is apt to tell you to go-da-hell! And ya know what? Can't really blame the person's harsh response; he or she has probably been preached AT more than once. Church people - even truly born again folks - can be nosy b*tards - as insensitive as any rank worldling, if not worse.
Ya need $200 to fix yer car - so you can get to work, it's likely they'll want to see your finances, and ya better not be caught buying a soda and a pack of gum from a vending machine - glory be, that's like two bucks.
He went on, how churches, back in the day, (before INSSSAAANNNE property taxes) spent 25% of their profit on helping widows. These days, many widows work - and if they got some backbone/gumption, (and and enough brain cells to atleast halfways plan ahead) widows can bootstrap th' you-know-what up, and take care of their own selves.
There's more than enough outstretched hands in this world to deal with. This world doesn't need yet another.
