There's Yer (Political) Sign

Courtesy of HS's email correspondent, George Meredith:

*While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the North?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, (and has always done so since creation), she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keepup with that stuff."

She also votes!

*I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific."

He also votes!

*So my colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but "didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving.

Yep, she also votes!

*My sister has a life-saving tool in her car. It's designed to cut through a seatbelt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.

My sister also votes!

*My friends and I stopped to purchase a couple cases of Coca Cola for a party and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.

He also votes!

*I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?" I explained that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned.

My friend also votes!

*My wife and I were picking up some sandwiches from the sub shop last week and she asked the clerk which of two sandwiches was better. The clerk didn't have an opinion but did say that the first sandwich was more expensive. My wife got a quizzical look on her face and asked, "If that's the case, why are they both listed with the same price on the menu?" To this, the clerk responded, "I don't think we add tax to the turkey."

The clerk also votes!

*This one is the real: I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the lady attendant there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"

Yep, she is another one that also votes!

George assures us we needn't worry, since all these folks vote Democrat. That, of course, depends upon how many more there are like them. As Lazarus Long will say, "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity."

But if we choose to be optimistic, one can just wonder who has the bigger smile on his face - Ken Mehlman or Bill Engvall.

Git'r done.
