A friend just sent me this.

The Urine test

(This was written by a rig worker in the North Sea - What he says makes a lot of sense!)

I work, they pay me.   I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to earn that pay cheque, I work on a rig for a drilling
contractor.   I am required to pass a random urine test for drugs and alcohol, with which I have no problem.

What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.   Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a benefits cheque because I have to pass one to earn it for them?

Please understand that I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet.   I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sit on their backside drinking beer and smoking dope.

Could you imagine how much money the government would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a benefit cheque?

Please pass this along if you agree or simply delete it if you don't.

Hope you will pass it along though, because something has to change in the UK,  and soon!

Things are constantly changing in the UK.  Unfortunately, usually for the worse.

If he to failed a urine test he too could claim benefit.   He is precluded from benefit by not failing the test.

I took a dope test once and passed it.  Does that mean what I think it means?

surely that depends on whether a positive or negative result was considered a pass. Laughing  Laughing
