And
                           Then They Voted

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?"

Then 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 24x7 call center. One day I got a call from an InDUHvidual 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.

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 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 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.
