Rudy, I have something to say. But first, let me apologize in advance to my heroes: The economists from the University of Chicago. House of Java.net Cybercafe. Huh? Here goes. Rudy, you may have a raise. Yesss!! Hurts inside.

Armstrong, you have been a terrible Scrooge and it has hurt many lives. Look: May I have my first cost of living wage increase in a decade? Next decade. Despair. I can't afford to upgrade my iPhone. Mistake. Who cued up the tale of Tiny Rudy?! Show me more despair.

You're right. I know I'm addicted to my iPhone. I know I buy a lot of apps. I do it because I'm bored. If I don’t do this, I'll ask Randy for dating tips. Or play a joke on Sadie, or pester Darlene, or ask Armstrong for a raise. Where did everyone go? What about my intervention? Thwack!

I'm not giving you a raise to support your iPhone app habit. Hold that thought. Playing a new game where I move the phone around to carve the perfect dessert. It's called App Pie. You're humiliating all of us - by which I mean the whole planet. High pie score!

I need a raise. This is no time to joke. I've been on a buying binge at the iPhone app store and I can't pay my credit card. These apps are worth it. They're life-changing, they're … Splash! Aaaargh! App that makes the sound of alligators eating villagers. Kinda cool.

You belong to a tightwad club? Our time has come. For years we met in private, shunned by society. Thanks to the economy, we're hip. We can celebrate our frugality in front of the whole world! Bad time to ask for a raise. I am chinchy, hear me roar!

Is there a reason I'm going into the red? Reason? Am I being penalized? Have I done something wrong? Maybe it's like A Wonderful Life. Your greed is catching up to you. You're experiencing bad karma. So I need to raise my prices?

Infuriating. What? The airlines are starting to charge for coffee, tea, water, even pillows and blankets. This upsets you? They are so cheap. So amazingly frugal. Charging for water - in a captive airplane! They're making me look terrible. We must raise our bar. Comprehension.

Welcome to Divided Airlines. We have an announcement. We know many of you have grown accustomed to us periodically misplacing your baggage. But we can do better. We can raise the bar. In the future, we plan on a random basis to open your luggage, take out carious pieces of your clothing and personal items, and accidentally displace them at different airports. You will then be allowed to spend money with us to fly to the airport to retrieve your belongings. We hope you enjoy our heightened efforts. They're mocking us. We're mocking you. Divided Airlines.

I've been wanting to introduce you to Herbert for months. I didn't want to scare you. Don't be silly. So what if I've discovered my girlfriend has secretly raised a talking gerbil she pampers, gives back rubs to, and debates international politics with. What's so strange about that? So you're good with it. Get me Dr. Phil.

Take pity on me. I can't give much this year. What is this heresy, son? I didn't get a raise this year, got furloughed this summer, am behind on my cable bill, can't afford proper dates. But it's the holidays. Think of the needy. Pierre in flat-panels has a new baby. Sandy, the mobile device manager, toils so hard for your business. And don't forget Apple. It's got to make its quarter. Computer Villa. Customer service. I shouldn't just think of myself. That's better. I'd like to upgrade all my devices, on credit. Even the most devoted sometimes need help overcoming their demons.

I've got to fight through my creative malaise. I've come up with a list of ways to eek out more money from customers. Let's hear 'em. Charge for extra pads of butter. It's okay, but it's boring. Right. How about: Raise coffee prices; sell only day-old pastries; turn out the lights to save electricity ... Boring, boring, boring. Require people to make their own drinks? C'mon, you're not even trying.

The Adventures of Recession Man! M'lady, you seem distressed. I haven't had a raise in two years. My bills keep going up but my income has stagnated. Fear not. I can save the day. You can get me a raise? I can help you see things differently. We'll talk it out, then I'll give you a back rub, and you'll feel your anger dissolve into sweet kisses. Typical! some man fashions himself a superhero who can sweet me up in his arms and dismiss all my problems. Whoa, this economy's a powerful nemesis. It's using the most evil trick of all! Huh? Mind control. They're trying to turn you against me. Oh brother. Need help? E-mail Recession Man at asksadieshow@gmail.com

What can I get you? Coffee? Tea? Sandwich? The mackerel mocha sounds lovely. What's in it? The usual. Chocolate. Soy milk. Mackerel. Yes, but is the mackerel farm-raised or from the sea? Ocean. Atlantic? Pacific? Indian? Arctic? Antarctic? I'm not sure. Oh. Ok ... well what's the mackerel's mercury content? Negligible, I'm sure. Ok. Was it exposed to any chlorine? Or copper sulphate? Or malathion? Was it treated with kindness? Was it read stories and sung to before bedtime? Yes. Never mind, it sounds iffy. Just give me the usual aspartame-trans fat medley.

What do you mean you want me to vote illegally this November? I'm registered. Yes … but Ernesto isn't. Ernesto Mumumba Chang Yurchenkovitz is an illegal immigrant who tunneled his way across the Atlantic to vote for tax-raising liberal café regulators. Report to the alley at two a.m. Someone who's definitely not me will leave you a big fake mustache, a Yo Soy Ernesto t-shirt, and an ISIS membership card. When you're caught voting, public sentiment will swing our way. You have some never asking me to do this after refusing to let me take a potty break. Stop whining. My inside man at ICE will make sure you're probably not deported.

Congratulations, Mort. I noticed your campaign has already raised over $250,000. My what did what now? Very funny. I admire you, Mort. No Democrat has had the guts to take on Congressman Snidely in over 40 years. What are you talking about? I'm not running for anything. You've got a profile page up on the Justice Democrats' website. You're neck-and-neck in the polls. Justice Dem -- Wait a second, I thought I was ordering a t-shirt. I wondered why they had to run a background check for that. You're gonna need a campaign manager.

Told you fellers Trump would make America great ag'n. He weren't lyin', neither. At&T gave out bonuses. Sure they laid off a buncha folks at the same time, but twasn't none of them me, so that don't count. Wal-Mart gave a buncha workers raises … An' they laid off a buncha folks at Sam's Club at the same time, but twasn't none of them me, go that don't count. MAGA. Over a hundred companies are givin' out one-time $1000 bonuses an' sayin' it's 'cause of the billions of dollars in tax cuts they got. During the last gilded age, the robber barons sometimes handed out pocket change to the poor. They were placating the masses who wanted to break up their huge, unscrupulous, slave-wage-paying corporations. Sounds like fake hist'ry to me. Just saying, $1000 isn't much to pay for pitchfork insurance. We eat the poor.

Boss? Why've you been calling me "Sauron" all day? It's a hero's journey thing. Step 8, to be exact: The Ordeal. In the ordeal, the hero of the story faces a pivotal test of either strength or will. In Lord of the Rings, the ordeal was the face-off with Sauron. But why'd you start calling me that right after I asked for a raise? Denied, foul beast! ... Now, let me check my bank account for Step 9: The Reward.

Boss, remember when you said you'd consider giving me a raise if I were to show initiative? No. I used the café's line of credit to buy ads on a national broadcast. You did what? If the ad increases business, do I get a raise? Maybe. What channel's it on? Fox? NBC? Today's "Ask Sadie Radio Show" is brought to you by the worst excuse for a cafe in America.
