As a former Episcopalian(I married a Baptist and now we're apparently Presbyterian), I must apologize for the disgusting bigotry your grandmother encountered. I have had to leave individual Episcopal churches before for their attitudes towards certain things, but I have never encountered anything in my time in the church to imply that polio was a punishment from God for anything and I would have strong words with anyone who stated otherwise. A trial or burden, maybe- and that's a longshot, and that would be from life, not necessarily God. But a punishment? Not just no, Hell No.And yes, I would have probably giggled at your grandpa singing the witch doctor song in church. And I was an acolyte.
This was a LONG time ago. The Episcopal church was a different place back then.

Among the categories of employees who are not included in the state coverage are . . . workers mainly engaged in the range production of livestock (but only if they are being paid a salary that is equivalent to 40 times the minimum wage per week).
(Emphasis mine.)
What do you think this means?
Edit: "State coverage" refers to minimum wage, not something else.

I think it means: Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
EDIT: Fixed my quote and added musical link.

I would make fun of you but you choose Cash. That's weird for a non-capitalist.

Momentary fear that somebody was going to take your boobs away? I had that once. What a pain it is to get rid of a body after you've broken the neck.

Yeah, but this is more than different. Maybe The Reformed Episcopal Church? I think we shipped most of the Calvinists off thataway in the 19th century.
BTW, where is that Really Important Post of yours referenced before? I can't find it.

So, I just ran out to the convenience store for a pack of cigarettes.
"Good evening," I said to the attendant, "Could I have a pack of Marlboro Lights."
He said something indecipherable..."selling skinners."
"Huh?" I asked.
"Pedophiles," he replied.
"Uh..............................I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Wow. You're real intelligent."
Now, my initial impulse was to punch him in the face, but I have learned to distrust my instinct for violence. However, the more I think about it, the more I think I was insulted for no reason.
Can anyone help me figure out what the hell just happened? Something about Marlboro Lights I don't know? Or should I have punched him in the face?
