RENT-A-SPONSOR
Are you tired of being told like it is?
Still looking for that easier, softer way?
Had enough of that same old time-tested direction?
No Reading! No Writing! No Deadlines!

STANDARD FEATURES INCLUDE:
*Listening to your sniveling without constant reference to the Big Book or Steps!
*Co-signing your excuses and rationalizations!
*Work only the Steps you want, in the order you choose!
*Learn the secret of giving it away before you even have it!
*Why "walk the walk" when you can just "talk the talk?"
*Remember, it's better to look good than to feel good!
*Why save your ass at the cost of losing your face?

Disclamer: If this sponsor sounds good to you then you might need to re-read the Big Book, go to more meetings, follow your sponsor's advice, work the Steps, as you are probably at risk for relapse.

Since sponsorship seems to be the topic of the week I thought you might enjoy some light heartedness in the subject.
