Whenever I get together with my buddy, we talk a lot of shit.  Most of the time we just chalk it up to having a good time but once in a while, one of us will come up with an idea that is groin grabbingly amazing.  A few weeks ago my friend posited what I think is probably the greatest employment plan since the Alphabet Soup days of work agencies during the Great Depression.  Which I guess is pretty fitting given these similarly turbulent financial times.

Given the preponderence of day laborers at various home improvment and moving centers in Los Angeles, Chan theorized that we should hire them at a generous fixed hourly rate and then harness their 3rd world work ethic, generally dimunitive statures and impossible burro-like strength to hone them into the premiere break dancing group in Los Angeles.

Of course, as first world capitalists (and scheming Asian men) Chan and I would receive the lion’s share of the group’s profits as well as its merchandising and movie rights…  but think about the benefits!  Not only would this tackle the issue of job conflicts between lazy Americans and their non-lazy illegal alien counterparts, but would also bring a sense of culture and pride in these brave men’s lives…  plus allow them to feed their multiple children and family members back in the old country. 

I dare the ACLU to try and come up with a better plan.
