THE DONUT SHOP

Being from New York, I like 7-11 coffee. I usually stop on the way out, first thing in the morning and buy myself a cup. This particular morning, I thought you know it's been along time since I have had a donut, so off I go to the nearest donut shop for some coffee and a donut.

As I am sitting at a table eating my donut and drinking my cup of coffee, two guys sit down at a table next to mine. They spoke kind of loud, and from the conversation I came away thinking that they were employees of the Mohegan Sun Casino.

Here is what they said. Worker #1 said, "there is going to be more cuts."

Worker #2 said, "yeah, it can't keep going like it is."

Worker #1 said, "yeah, look what they got for $300 million."

Worker #2 said, "three parking lots, a hole in the ground (earth tower hotel) and a shrink wrapped building (government community center) on top of a mountain."

Worker #1 replied, "don't forget the two on ramps, the one on route 2-A and the ramp on to I-395 that Connecticut should have paid for."

Worker #2 said, "yeah, they made the ramps, so the workers could get out of the Mohegan Sun and on to 395 to exit 82 to the unemployment office."

At that moment, I finished my coffee, and threw my coffee cup and paper bag in the trash. As I opened the door to leave, I looked over at the workers and thought, it was sad but true. We (the Mohegan tribe) had 3 parking lots, the started earth tower (hotel) , a building on a hill (the government community center) and two on ramps and no customers to use them. What do you think?
