Our Great Dumbocracy
(A woman in medical scrubs with a name badge enters the store and approaches the counter.)
Customer: “Helllooo! How are YOU tonight?”
Me: “I’m doing well. How are you?”
Customer: “Oh, just fine. Are you voting in this year’s election?”
Me: “Yes, I am.”
Customer: “Have you considered John McCain?”
Me: “Well, no, not really.”
Customer: “No? Who are you voting for, OBAMA?”
Me: “…”
Customer: “OBAMA! HA HA HA!”
(She continues to laugh maniacally, inserting “OBAMA” between laughs. After a little while, she comes to the register with a few rentals.)
Customer: “Hellooo! How are you tonight?”
Me: “Still doing well… did you find what you were looking for?”
Customer: “Have you thought at all about this year’s election?”
Me: “…”
Customer: “What?”
Me: “We just had this conversation.”
Customer: “Oh. Who are you voting for? I’m voting for Obama. I just want our troops to come home.”
Me: “You just laughed at me for not wanting to vote for McCain!”
Customer: *confused look* “Really? I’m so tired when I get out of work!”
