#1 I wonder if a metal gauntlet would block these chips.

#4 a microchip implanted inside a person's hand

Prob not unless the person sticks a finger up their nose a lot.

#5 Biblical implications and all that..."mark of the Beast" -- and I don't mean pantsuit.

#7 Yes, Houston, the eagle has landed.
These chickens, so proud to be banded,
Should get plucked outta line
And forbidden to dine,
Then cluck off to the henhouse one-handed.

Also... wow, a boat-burning and a ~~shooting star~~ realtime Crinnie-storm, all in one day!

#8 Too ripe for abuse, IMHO. I'll stick with a credit card for online and cash for local, thanks.

#9 So, if I remove my coworker's hand, I can get chips and snacks...free!

#10 Better get the chip out quickly, Commodore Frank! Those portable hands ripen quickly, and may cause problems for you at checkout. Just sayin'

#11 Employees who need a free lunch,
Should just use a biopsy punch.
We'll save on insurance,
So, for your forbearance...
Um, that'd be great... thanks a bunch.

#12 It is one thing if this is voluntary. Quite another when it becomes mandatory.

#14 First they will chip the incarcerated felons, then they will chip the hospital patients, then they will chip the military, and finally, since "everybody else is...", they will chip everybody...

#15 Why do I keep flashing onto pointy haired bosses and Catbert?

I actually heard about this at our work (SAP) outing 20 years ago, but they were talking about wearing a ring. Led to the expected ribaldry.

#16 One would have to be incredibly naive to think that taking the implant is a sensible way to "buy snacks at work".

#17 Voluntary... until it isn't and its required to get in the door.
