...received this a couple of minutes ago. Very funny!
Voters - We're in more trouble than I imagined!
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!
So my colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one 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 and I were on a beer run 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 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 yourplane arrived yet?"...She also votes!"

If you subscribe to Sturgeon's Law like I do, you'll realise that while democracy may be 'equitable', you're at the mercy of a whole bunch of stupid people. |

The airplane baggage lady may have had a point, as sometimes your luggage doesn't travel on the same plane that you do. But the rest of them- keep in mind that democracy, for all that it's cracked up to be, necessarily operates with an I.Q. of 100.
Doonesbury hit in the head a few days ago, when one of the characters said (of President Bush): "He doesn't think, he believes. Therefore, he is not conflicted by reality." I think this sums up much of the voting public as well.

true story: one day when i lived in miami a bunch of coworkers were talking about how there always seemed to be someone in the news who'd drowned because their car had gone off the road and into one of florida's infamous canals. said one guy, "that's exactly why i bought an oxygen tank and put it in my trunk."
dunno if he votes - not sure he knows we have elections.
happy 40, slovy!

My boss called on the phone (to the office downstairs from him) to have my co-worker make a phone call for him because he didn't have time to make a call..
Yes, it took far more time to explain what he wanted than to make the call himself...
