LEMON PICKERS NEEDED IN FLORIDA - ONLY US CITIZENS OR LEGAL IMMIGRANTS NEED TO APPLY

"Lemon Pickers Needed”, read the ad in the newspaper.

Miss Sally Mulligan of Coral Springs, Florida, read it and decided to apply for one of the jobs that most Americans are not willing to do. She submitted her application for a job in a Florida lemon grove but seemed far too qualified for the job. She has a liberal arts degree from the University of Michigan, and a master’s degree from Michigan State University. For a number of years, she had worked as a social worker, and also as a school teacher.

The foreman studied her application, frowned, and said, "I see that you are well educated, and have an impressive resume. “However, I have to ask you, have you had any actual experience in picking lemons?”

"Well, as a matter of fact, I have," she said. "I've been divorced three times, owned two Chryslers, voted twice for Obama, once for Hillary, and most recently for Biden.”

She started work yesterday.

This story brought tears to my eyes.
