Move Over "Dump Truck Ass!" This Season's Latest Trend: The Snow Plow Ass

Scroll through Instagram these days and you’re guaranteed to see a few things: couples announcing their engagements, ill-advised vacation snapshots, and inescapable thirst traps featuring the one and only dump truck ass. However, this winter a competitor to the dump truck ass emerges: the snow plow ass. What is the difference between a dump truck ass and a snow plow ass? The dump truck ass is typically characterized by a large amount of junk in the trunk, shaped and compressed into an optimal usage of space, much like how a compactor on a dump truck shapes and compresses trash. On the other hand, the snow plow ass is characterized by the look of mismatched lumps and chunks haphazardly scooped together, similarly to the look of snow in the shovel of a plow. Additionally, a typical snow plow creates unsightly and inconvenient mounds -- a staple of the snow plow ass as well. And finally, while the experience of being behind a dump truck and a dump truck ass may be a little smelly, being behind both a snow plow and snow plow ass might get you blasted by some unknown particles. This winter -- stay dummy slick instead of dummy thick and invest in your snow plow ass.

5 Minute Makeover! This Minimum Wage Worker Transformed From "Hero" to "Freeloader" By American Public

When the world shut down, essential workers became our heroes, bravely serving the public at grocery stores, restaurants, and factories. Now that Covid-19 aid package proposed a $15 per hour minimum wage increased from $7.25 per hour, it’s time for the American public to shake things up with a new look! 

While Americans are still relying on their services of essential workers, they draw the line at paying a living wage. “ I love my Harris Teeter, they have the most helpful staff. But $15 an hour? Come on, I could do that job! Well maybe I could? I just have really bad hand eye coordination and I don’t like the smell of coins, so I would probably vomit,” said Megan Peterson, an Arlington resident. Peterson has now begun to imagine the staff at Harris Teeter as lazy freeloaders. “I really had to get creative, but once I started imagining the grocery staff with a new look I could just see them being able to live above the poverty line, with MY money, it became an easy makeover,” Peterson said. 

For $7.25 an hour many people who are working would have to apply for public assistance, such as SNAP benefits, or get section 8 housing benefits.  This hasn’t deterred the resilient American public from not seeing this makeover through. Business owner, Chad Miller, at first showered his staff with appreciation. “I put a sign in one of the windows in the house that said “Thank you heroes.” Although I live in a gated community so no one who was an essential worker could see. It’s the thought that counts.” Miller is opposed to raising the minimum wage because he fears for what it means for the future of our country. “I worked hard to inherit my business from my family. If just anyone could make a living wage? How will I maintain my power and influence?” Miller is coping by transforming his staff from hardworking heroes, into lazy moochers. “ I just imagined these workers jumping into money like Scrooge McDuck and voilà! All that's left to do is make some fun party plans and show off their new look!”
