Voters
Posted by: root <root@...>
Two candidates for political office inadvertently scheduled
simultaneous campaign rallies in the same park of a small
New England town. After a lengthy round of speeches, the
candidates worked their way through the crowd -- shaking
hands, kissing babies and beaming mightily. Suddenly, the
skies opened and it began to rain.
One of the candidates fled to take shelter in a nearby restaurant
along with half a dozen regulars. The other candidate, however,
continued to move through the crowd -- shaking hands, kissing
babies, etc.
"That man's persistence," observed one of the natives, "sure
makes it easy to know who to vote for."
"Yep," another native agreed. "Sure can't see myself casting a
vote for a man who hasn't the good sense to come in out of the rain."

Oath First
============
An old lady had always wanted to travel abroad. Now that
she was getting on in years, she thought she would really
like to do so before she died.
But until now, she'd never even been out of the country. So
she began by going in person to the Passport Office and
asking how long it would take to have one issued.
"You must take the loyalty oath first," responded the
passport clerk. "Raise your right hand, please."
The old gal raised her right hand.
"Do you swear to defend the Constitution of the United States
against all its enemies, domestic or foreign?" was the first
question.
The little old lady's face paled and her voice trembled as
she asked in a small voice, "Uhhh... all by myself?"
