The guy responsible thinks he’s joking, but I have several relatives who belong to the New York chapter and let me tell you: if it’s a parody, it’s barely a parody.
It’s also too hot for some Hot Air readers, although for others it’ll be jussssst right. So we do what we normally do in situations like this and add an extra layer of prophylaxis by forcing you to click. You’ll find it at the link, right below Tom Elia’s own strong content warning.

Prophylaxis – Are catholics still against those things?

Isn’t it pronounced “AF-Scam?”

“What does your daddy do?”
“His in ‘Waste Mangement’”
Badda-Bing!

Almost perfect. But they should have “Speak Softly Love” playing in the background.

Haha! Excellent! If it requires a prophalactic you know it’s gonna be good.

OK, so where’s the joke? If you throw in a few f***’s and other assorted swear words, it’s automatically funny? Sorry, I just don’t get it.

Ya know, I’m Sicilian-Italian-Irish. My grandfather was a cobbler and did concrete work in the 30’s and 40’s. I’m not sure if the jobs were related or not…

Awwwww, somebody feels unappreciated! Maybe we need a ASFCME recognition week? All us slobs can bow to city hall 5 times a day.

Doesn’t this remind you of who really ran the teamsters back in the ’70’s?
The guy almost sounded like Joe Pesci, too.

I got yer union right here pal
Kini on March 10, 2007 at 11:24 PM
Unions are scary. I wish they’d leave my state so the employers would come here.
Buck Turgidson on March 10, 2007 at 11:56 PM
Damn you, Allah, with your incessant promotion of Italian American stereotypes!!!
Oh, wait a minute. I’m Irish, not Italian.
Nevermind.

In the state I live in we have the exact opposite of unions – at will employment! This basically means you can get fired, or leave a job, at any time for any reason at all and not get in legal hot water! So if you have a bad day you can just, walk away!
And if you find out your employer is paying higher wages to someone doing the exact same job as you, and the person has less experience and/or less authority/responsibility than you, there is absolutely nothing you can do about it because you have no legal leverage at the state level whatsoever!
Yay!

Actually you can leave a job/get fired for no reason at all, as obviously some reasons are federally protected. But of course being a fully functional adult white male, I have no legally protected status.

Now that’s my kind of ad. Right to the point. Screw the table manners. When you’re talking about or to unions, pull no punches.

Congress just passed a law, so youse beddah sign dis union card or you shouldn’t oughta know what’s gonna happen to youse!
