Crossing Picket Lines

Walk up to them as though you believe in their cause. Congratulate a few of them, and try to sound sincere. Put your arm around two of them. Then say the following.

"You know guys, it's great that you decided to stick it to the man, so that you could get better pay and working conditions. I really hope it's worth ruining the only chance I'm likely to get at an education that's costing my family twice what you probably earn per year. Scew you!"

Then push your way roughly through the line, and try to knock a couple of them over. I have no sympathy for educators striking. It's just not fair to the students.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
