Just more proof, IMHO, that there should be some type of competency test for voters…

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 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, “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 was hanging out with a real liberal friend of mine when we saw a woman walk by us 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 had to explain to her that a person’s nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned.

And then she 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.

I need to quit staying up this late.

But I got something up my sleeve. Granted I am wearing short sleeves so it is way up there for now…

The new U2 album is out today and we were talking about it at church this weekend. The following is a site that has a list of all the U2 albums and some information about them.

U2 album information - info on all U2 albums: “U2 have produced 14 albums from the release of ‘Boy’ in 1980 to the ‘Best of U2 1990-2000′ in 2002, including 2 mini-LPs and 2 ‘Best Of’ collections. The following pages contain various details about their recording, from where and when it was made to inspiration behind some of the songs on them, and guest appearances etc.”

Well we have kicked ol’ ma bell out of out house. We now have Digital Phone Service from Time Warner Cable. So now the TV, the internet and the phone are all coming in on the coax from the poll. Guess I need to get a UPS again so we have phone service when the power goes out. But for now we got the mobile phones.

update:

we have voice mail, but it is not setup. I left a message, but I have no idea how to reteive it, guess I gotta give TW a call.
