And then they voted. (Jokes for us sad people)
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 another person jumped in and 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."

And then she voted.

===============

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, "Pacific.."

And then he voted.

============

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."

And then she voted.

================

I was in a high school advanced physics class and the teacher was talking about a new military weapon that uses sonic waves on the battlefield to burst enemy soldier's chests. One Individual in the class spoke up and said, "Well that's stupid! Why don't they just wear headphones?"

And a few years later, he voted.

=============

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.

And then she voted.

=================

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 two cases. The
cashier multiplied two times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.

And then they all voted.

================

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 they were trained
professionals and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"

And then she voted.

================

One day G W. Bush promised all the evangelical churches in the United States Faith Based Initiative money .......

And then they voted.

1. Okay, I can play this game.
I had to move someone's computer to another part of the office at work. When I got to her desk, she asked me if she'd have to turn the computer off for me to move it.

And then she voted.

3. Me too. A fairly weak smile, but I think there's still life maybe.

4. Thanks for the chuckle
I needed it. I live and work in Freeperville, SC. The fundies, the gun-nuts and the red-necks were especially obnoxious today.

5. I've got one! It's not of your formula, but a propos...
A little boy goes to his dad and asks "What is Politics"?
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I am the head of the family so call me the President
Your mother administers the money, so call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny is the Working Class
And your baby brother is the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense"
So the little boy goes off to think about what his dad told him. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So he goes into his parent's room and finds his mother fast asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. He looks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy says to his dad "Well, I think I understand Politics now".

Dad says "Great! Tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."

The little boy replies "The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The people are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit!"
