The following is a true story!
Scene: East Side of Houston, Navigation Street [the poor part of town],
present day
A homeless shelter, with two bistro-like tables with white linen
tablecloths out front
Sign in front reads: "Just Soup: an upscale soup kitchen for the
homeless."
[Editor's comment: an obvious attempt at humor at the expense of poor
Ken Lay, embattled former CEO of Enron, who's wife just opened up a
"upscale" resale shop in Houston entitled "Just Stuff," in a vacant
storefront the Lay's own, supposedly to help liquidate their movable
assets due to the poor circumstances they now find themselves in. No
doubt the profits from the store will end up in Zurich or the Cayman
Islands.]
