Too funny to pass up.

From MSNBC:

Many may be familiar with the Wal-Mart greeter; the kind smiling individual standing at the opening of one of those mega-stores, ready to say hello. But DFW residents who know their nuts and bolts also know Elliott's Hardware's greeting force, who're often the perfect sage to ask, "Where can I find a plunger?" as you walk into the store in pants wet up to your ankles.

Now Elliott's has their sights set on a very specific candidate for adding to their greeting group: Former President George W Bush.

Sounds like a joke, right? "We are offering the position to Mr. Bush in all sincerity," said Kyle Walters, Elliott's president and CEO. "We think it would be a great fit for him as he settles back into life in Dallas."

Something tells me he would find some way to screw this one up. Kinda like every other job he's ever held in his life.

Maybe Elliot's can get him to do their radio ads on WRR-FM?

At last, a job he isn't completely unqualified for.

Now that would be a hoot! I once grabbed a plain black rubber door mat at Elliott's and was shocked when the price came up at the register - $27.00.....for a door mat? That was 1995 and I still have it......they're gonna bury me with it I think.

Hmm.. 12 years old and it's still goin' strong... yup.. that would be Elliott's. The go-to place when you're not quite sure what you need, but you know you need it. Or you know no one else will bother carrying it.

And don't even get me started on how great they are for finding the perfect pervertible..

If I walked-in and he was the greeter, I would feel the need to throw my shoe at him.
