Get Out the Deprogrammers!
Sharon July 16th, 2009
So I have to share with all of you one of the funniest things I’ve heard in a while.
A reader of mine emailed me telling me that she went on vacation and got together with an old college friend. One of the first things that the friend said to her was that two other mutual friends “had joined a cult.”
“It’s run by a crazy woman!”
My reader ventured a guess, “Sharon Astyk?”
And her friend said “Something strange like that.”
Wow, I’m a cult! And I haven’t even worked out my theology or the role of space aliens – gotta get on that!
I’ve got to get a cult uniform – I’m told that white pajamas are very in, although how I’ll manage to keep mine white I have no idea.
The forms for signing over your entire income to “for the greater good” will be up on my blog very soon now, I promise 
.
My reader tells me that she did get the outraged former college friend to admit that she was planning on growing a garden if she lost her job, and that maybe, just maybe, it would be a good idea to start one sooner, rather than later, if you plan to feed yourself from it.
That’s just the first step – the garden is just part of my evil plan. I’m expecting her to sign over her free will by Sunday .
Sharon, who has to come up with a cooler name for herself than the one she was born with.
