A friend sent me an internet joke which was too good not to pass on. I did strip out however the cute drawings and emoticons. You're welcome.

A goodly number of people, responsible people, have to take a urine test for drugs. This is to keep the job that they have, the government steals half of what they earn and tells them that they're selfish if they object.

Yesterday I was in a 7-Eleven clone and a woman ahead of me was buying lottery tickets, 40 ounces of the strongest beer they sell, and cigarettes. She asked the clerk to get her $5 of gas which was waiting to be put in her bright and shiny new vehicle which was blocking everyone else who wanted to get gas.

She paid for all this with lottery tickets she was cashing in. Total time: ten minutes while other people, people with jobs, were waiting to pay and leave. I know for a fact that this woman doesn't work.

I suggest that a condition of receiving any sort of government welfare is passing a urine test. If it's good enough for your doctor or nurse, or train engineer, it's good enough for a welfare queen.

This would have the added benefit of ridding the welfare rolls of lots of people, people who are on welfare to avoid working so that they can engage in recreational drug taking and perhaps a little dealing.
