So, the Fool message boards are generally pretty intelligent, and often humorous.<\/p>\n
However, it seems the the Folly In Georgia<\/i> board is almost completely lacking a sense of humor. I’m embarrassed for my adopted state (as I often am).<\/p>\n
This is not a very frequented board, and posts have never garnered more than 10 recommendations. (On the Fool Boards, you can recommend a post, and everyone has a limited number of recs a day). The most recommended post was someone asking where to stay\/eat\/visit in Georgia (10 recs), and the responses (9,8,7 recs). The next most recommended was a post that simply said “Good Afternoon Georgia” (6 recs). So, a low bar here, entertainment wise.<\/p>\n
Someone posts a question, can anyone recommend a good maid service in Atlanta. Several folks responded with the types of prices to expect to pay ($60\/hour), and the original poster balked.<\/p>\n
So I replied:<\/p>\n
\nOoo! Ooo! I’ve got a devious idea!<\/p>\n
At Dad’s Garage Theater, we used to use people who were sentenced to do community service to clean the joint. DUI offenders and stuff like that.<\/p>\n
So register your place as a not-for-profit company, and get yourself some reprobates to do the spit shine!<\/p>\n
If you want to make it legit, you could do a little puppet show in the kitchen or something for the local kids.<\/p>\n

Slightly witty, no recs though. But the punchline is, here’s a reply:<\/p>\n

So you want to allow convicts with petty theft and other bad life choice backgrounds into your home?<\/p>\n
