No More Jokes.....
Los Angeles, CA - No more jokes, Tennie effed it up for everybody...So if you're a firefighter, policemen or a paramedic and you are stressed from seeing someone's head blown off, or looking at a dead infant. You will have to find a new way to help each other get over the every-day stress of the job. No more can you fill someone's shoes with shaving cream or put hot peppers in someone's food, nah uh! you can't do it if you work in the City of Los Angeles. Today Mayor Villeraigosa signed an executive order making it a "zero tolerance" zone for workplace hazing. Which means if you plan on pranking one of your workmates...don't even think about or face suspension or possibly being terminated.
This is what happens with political correctness goes wrong. You had a fireman, of 22 years who was known for his pranks, sue the city after he was pranked himself. And the city basically surrendering faster then the French at the sound of a pop gun, voted and settled to give Pierce $2.7 Million.
In a way it kinda back fired on Pierce, because when the L.A. Times published the story and I did a web search on the story to find that it went national, it seems that there was public outrage and pictures of the "Big Dog" himself in rare prankster form, 54 pics of the Dog performing some pranks, that I'm surprised the recipient didn't sue the city. Nevertheless, the mayor vetoed the council recommendation to settle and sent it back for the council to reconsider, which means, that city may get the last laugh. And oh, this incident won't be forgotten, cause I imagine, the mayor will have to answer to black voters who chose to veto this award to an African American man, who sued the city for racial discrimination. The last time a mayor went against the black voters in Los Angeles...he lost and was sent packing after one term. Gotta a funny feeling that Villaraigosa might have to think about a new career after his first term is up...
But the days of poking fun and practical jokes are over , and the days of the blowing off smoke, getting to know each other is also over. And they can blame Tennie Pierce for this, I'm sure they won't forget him and he won't forget all his twenty something years of fun and games he had as the "Big Dog" before he turned into .....
the "Big Puss."
