WHY I WONDER ABOUT VOTING PRIVILEGES.....
Submitted by a friend of a friend of a friend of ours on Capitol Hill.
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 for some time),
she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff.". . .She
also votes!
I used to work in technical support for a 24x7 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!
My colleague & I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard 1
of the admin. 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." . . . . She also votes!
My sister has a lifesaving 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 & I were on a beer run & noticed that the cases were discounted
10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2
times 10% & 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 girlfriend and I were picking up some sandwiches from the sub place 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 girlfriend 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!
I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the
lost luggage office and told the woman 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?".
. . . . . She also votes!
