You mean the United Way is not honest?

Hey Andy, hey Oppie, hey aunt Bee tell me it is not so, that the United Way is lying to us pawns on the chess board of life. Better tell Miss. Crump we may need a lecture in ethics.

Better tell Barney to load his gun with the bullet in his shirt. Tell Goober and Gommer to get enough gas to fill up the police car. Tell Floyd we need him to make sure we get a good hair cut, after all the police chief from Mount Pilot might call for help on this investigation.

Oh one last thing, tell Ernest T we may need his rock throwing help to break open up the windows so we can get to the files of the United Way.

Anyone who still believes the United Way is honest either lives in Mayberry or on the river of D'nile

Why would anyone give these crooks any more money?

When I was a poor student going to college, I worked in a pharmacy. The manager of the store pressured us one year to contribute to the United Way. He got some rep to come in and give us the spiel. Well, I fell for it, and gave 50 cents a week. The manager got a plaque on his office wall saying that he had 100% of his employees contributing. Didn't sit well with us, the next year rolled around, and the arm twisting go more furious. I needed the job, so I kept contributing, a whole penny a week. Figured the paperwork cost them more than the 52 cents a year. The next year I got brave, and opted out. The store manager didn't get his plaque that year. Thank heavens I found another job shortly after that...
