This is a good idea. I'll get the to dress up as a chicken and wave a big sign around on the main road, it's sure to work! I'll probably get better applicants too...Or I could just hire the chicken guy to do the job! I know where to get one too...Dominos!

You mention about the jobs no workers thing and that's exactly the case I alluded to in this post. The government, here at least, pay people too much to sit on their ass and do nothing. We're not the only ones looking for workers. You know, not that long ago the fruit producers couldn't get workers to go fruit-picking. Like, no one wanted to do it. So, bring in workers from the Philippines. Problem solved. But is it? #pathetic
