Obama or McCain?

Conversation I had this morning on my way home from taking my grandmother to breafast. I'm in line at the checkout stand of the dollar store.


Hippie/Redneck Cashier Woman: Who you going to vote for?

Me: (Inwardly cringing, and deciding not to launch the "Why Hyperion is Best" speech): Well, I heard that if I don't vote for Obama, I'm racist, but if I don't vote for McCain, the terrorists win. [Pause] So I figured I'd vote for them both. I think it's time the Black Terrorists had a chance to win, don't you?

Cashier (after staring at me for at least 10 seconds): Wow. You've obviously thought about this a lot more than me.

Me (deadpan): Obviously.

You know, if this cashier networks with s substantial voting block of the Hippie/Redneck Cashier Nation at their national convention this year, you just might have put a black terrorist in the White House this November. Nice one, H.
