Bureaucracy in the United States of America...

[Arthur Shelby]

As some of you may have guessed I work a govt. contract and today I saw something that made me laugh so here it is:

• Do NOT use SNAP benefits to buy ineligible items, like alcoholic drinks, soap, tobacco products, firearms, ammunition, explosives, or a controlled substance as defined by 21 U.S.C. 802.

One of these things is not like the other ones...

i think Lumi is, so we can deodorize our privates...and butt cracks

oh snap! that stinks! not allowed to buy soap - reeks of something sinister for sure. Something doesn't pass the smell test here. I'll let myself out now.

 

[Onewolf426]

Negative and probably age restricted due to the propellant.

Hi,

I guess if you can let the gov't know you eat soap, you can probably buy it with your SNAP benefits. I prefer Ivory soap. It's mild, it's 99/100% pure, and it floats!


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I know how important floatation is to you sky guys. Never know when you'll need to ditch that $40 mil tomcat to save your $500 k SGLI.
