Disheartening Cab Ride
- Cab Driver: Did you vote for Obama today?
- Me: Sure did, did you?
- Cab Driver: Nahhh, didn't register.
- Me: Why not?
- Cab Driver: Long lines. Didn't want to spend all day at the polls.
- Me: It's really important that everyone votes.
- Cab Driver: Yeah I guess. Obama will win by a landslide.
- Me: Well, let's hope so. You should have voted.
- Cab Driver: Out where I live in Rockaway there's lots of McCain/Palin signs. If you ask me, they're all idiots.
- Me: To be honest, you're not really entitled to an opinion if you chose not to vote.
- - - silence - -
- (I asked for $12 back in change, he only had $11)
- Me: I'll let you keep that dollar if you promise to vote in the next election.
- Cab Driver: Maybe.
