Anecdote Monday: Election Season

Two political candidates were having a hot debate. Finally one of
them jumped up and yelled at the other: "What about the powerful
interests that control you?"

The other guy screamed back, "You leave my wife out of this."

A sidewalk interviewer asked a retired man what he thought of the
two candidates for an election.

"When I look at them," the retired man replied, "I'm thankful only
one of them can get elected."

Three men were arguing over which profession was the oldest.

Said the surgeon: "The Bible says Eve was made by carving a rib out
of Adam. I guess that makes mine the oldest profession."

"Not at all," said the engineer. "In six days the earth was created
out of chaos--and that was an engineer's job."

Said the politician: "Yes, but who created the chaos?"

After giving what he considered a stirring, fact-filled campaign
speech, the candidate looked out at this audience and confidently
asked, "Now are there any questions?"

"Yes," came a voice from the back of the room. "Who else is
running?"

My favorite is the second one. I feel that way about many of our local elections this year. Sigh.

I only like one local person running this year. One! Ah well, what can you do.
