Chicago car salesman fired for wearing Packers tie
– 2 hrs 17 mins ago

OAK LAWN, Ill. – A car salesman in suburban Chicago has been fired for refusing to remove a Green Bay Packers tie that he wore to work the day after the Packers beat the Chicago Bears to advance to the Super Bowl.

John Stone says he wore the Packers tie to work Monday at Webb Chevrolet in Oak Lawn to honor his late grandmother, who was a big Green Bay fan.

The sentimental gesture did not impress his boss, Jerry Roberts.

Roberts says the dealership has done promotions involving the Bears and he was afraid the tie could alienate the team's fans and make it harder to sell cars.

Roberts adds that Stone was offered five chances to take off the tie but he refused.

What a dumb fuck...and a pussy. If you are going to be man enough to wear the tie and get fired from your job while doing it, be man enough not to hide behind "honoring my dead grandmother" bullshit.

He gets what he deserves. Capitalism is a bitch huh...

I'm pretty sure neither Packers fans nor dead grandmothers are protected classes.

On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.

But was it dress code or a rule? It was discrimination by the definition.... I didn't say it violated the civil rights act of 1964. Just saying....

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Nah, I was just playing devils advocate to we!! since he likes to do it so much. I def don't think there's any legal basis to it. But it is pretty petty and childish of the boss and worker. And you should know me from being on here that I hate the nature of lawsuits for the most part in todays society. Almost to the level of cct.

Speaking of litigation and lawsuits, anyone seen that new show Fairley Legal? I don't give one rats ass about the show itself but the lead chick is about as smoking hot as they come....Sarah Shahi. Yowzas......

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

For the last time!  Take off that ridiculous tie, put on the monkey suit, and go stand by the road with the "You'll go ape over our deals" sign!

You meet a man on the Oregon Trail. He tells you his name is Terry. You laugh and tell him: "That's a girl's name!" Terry shoots you. You have died of dissin' Terry.

I heard she was Dutch.  It's a family secret.

Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall said, "Guys don't mind hitting Michael Vick in the open field, but when you see Cam, you have to think about how you're going to tackle him. He's like a big tight end coming at you."
