Many, many years ago, on one of my hiatus from going to college, as a drop-out and an engineering student with lots of math background, this agency got me a job as a bank teller. Back then, small savings bank branches had a cook on staff to cook us lunch. After a well-prepared meal, we would retire to our men’s lounge and the women had theirs to spend the rest of the lunch hour.
One of our nastiest male teller with the customers, but followed the rules, was a Jehovah Witness. Every day we had to put up with his version of preaching his beliefs while we tried to either play darts or read up on a hell of a collection of Playboy magazine’s dating back to some oldies, including the 1st Issue with Marilyn Monroe. Even the manager would get frustrated with his preaching.
One day, I got in earlier than usual and I took down some of the framed scenery lithographs off the walls and replaced them with Playboy Centerfolds over them. Lunch time came and “the infamous” teller was complaining to the manager that all those centerfolds had to come down, because it was against his beliefs to look at them.
The manager reminded him of the same freedom of speech that gave him the right to spread his version of “The Word”, gave the rest of us, the right to look at naked women. The photos stayed up and that teller had his remainder of his lunch hour break somewhere else in the building.
thecdn, I am perplexing on how do I get you to STFU, on these forums, like I did to that Jehovah Witness?
