Quite a Story here.
Rick Beard, 61, the head of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, was fired this past week--for SHOPLIFTING $40 worth of DVDs.
Now, you'd think at 61, he'd know better, AND, this wasn't the first time he'd gotten in trouble for shoplifting. Earlier, he had lifted $300 worth of silk ties.
It gets even better. Mr. Beard was earning just shy of $250,000!!! Can you believe that, $250,000!!!! And he blew that for $340.
The Charlotte, NC newspaper summed it up very well, "Library Head Fired for Not Being Honest Like Abe."
Hey, I'd Take the Job for Half of That AND Promise Not to Shoplift. I'm Not Saying Anything About Horseshoes Though. --B-Runner
