We may be in more trouble than we imagined..

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 my brother explained
that the sun rises in the east, (and has always done so since creation), she
shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff.". . . . She also
votes!

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, "Uh,
Pacific." . . . He also votes!.

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"........Yep, she also votes!

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 . . . My  sister also
votes!

My friends and I stopped to purchase a couple cases of Coca Cola for a party and
noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought
2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount . . . . .
He also votes!

I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman 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 explained that a person's nose and ear remain the same
distance apart no matter which way the head is turned. My friend also votes!

My wife and I were picking up some sandwiches from the sub shop last week and
she asked the clerk which of two sandwiches was better. The clerk didn't have an
opinion but did say that the first sandwich was more expensive. My wife got a
quizzical look on her face and asked, "If that's the case, why are they both
listed with the same price on the menu?" To this, the clerk responded, "I don't
think we add tax to the turkey." The clerk also votes!

This one is a real 'clinger'.......

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost
luggage office and told the lady attendant there that my bags never showed up.
She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I
was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?" Yep, she
is another one that also votes!
