Week before Thanksgiving, city fires 7 workers for signing a birthday card

From Dyer, Tennessee:

Signing a birthday card has cost seven city workers in Dyer their jobs. It has also cost the city its streets department. On Thursday, the Dyer Board of Alderman voted 4-2 to terminate all seven workers because they signed a birthday card for a female resident. They signed it off the clock. The front of the card mentions a "hairy-chested hunk" in a bathtub. But the inside shows a small puppy. According to the mayor, the female complained it was vulgar and inappropriate.
