WalMart employee greets with semi-nude photo - Fired

[KurtNYC]

Dean L. Wooten, 65, was accused of greeting customers with a computer-generated photo of himself in which he appeared to be naked - except for a carefully placed Wal-Mart bag - and of telling customers that Wal-Mart was cutting costs and the sack was the company's new uniform.
...
Wooten's application for unemployment compensation was rejected by an administrative law judge, who said ``a reasonable person would know the act of showing a naked body wearing a Wal-Mart sack would not be good for the employer's business.''
...
``When I first seen it, I pretty near died laughing,'' he (Wooten) said.

1. Anyone want to bet he said "purty" insteadof "pretty"?

Anybody that says "when I first seen it" most likely does NOT pronounce "pretty" properly :).

In reality he most likely said "When ah firsseen it, I purtanear died laffin." :) (spacing is intentional to give impression of actual speech) :)

3. I'm glad Wal-Mart employees have a sense of humor.

Pity he was fired.

4. worse than that - fired without compensation

Wooten's application for unemployment compensation was rejected by an administrative law judge, who said ``a reasonable person would know the act of showing a naked body wearing a Wal-Mart sack would not be good for the employer's business.''

And he had been warned to stop showing it.
