Positive Thinking!

Ralph you are home early today? Alice I got laid off work down at the bus company! Ralph what are we going to do? How can we pay the bills? Alice if you are so smart you figure it out? I drove that bus for twelve years Alice! In the summer heat and the cold! Put up with those smelly passengers down there on 5th avenue! Bums would try to sneak on the bus without paying fares! I challenged a bum one time and he pulled a knife on me! That is terrible Ralph! Then what happened? He stole all my bus receipts! This is the thanks I get! Ralph I can get a job! No Alice! Absolutely not! My wife does not work outside the home! I do not care if we starve to death you are not working! Ralph remember when my mother said you should get a college education? Alice do not bring up your mother at this time! She is a trouble maker! Besides if I had a college education just think how much more painful this layoff would be! Honeymooners, Jackie Gleason 1955.
