Happy Belated Birthday, Mel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't vote, as I didn't want the answers to someday come back to haunt me.
All this talk about Texas reminds me of a time I was riding a bus from Atlanta to eastern NC. Sitting in the bus terminal is ALWAYS fun in Atlanta, but this time was real interesting. Whenever I took the bus, I always made sure I had no money on me, and was as scruffy as possible to avoid interest from people.
So, sitting in the McD's there in the terminal, a guy comes up to use my table...the place is packed. I'm reading and eating, so sure. We strike up a conversation, he's headed out on the same bus I am...cool.
We get on the bus, he asks if he can borrow a book for the ride, I'm happy to oblige.
We get to talking, I let him know I'm in the service on leave, headed to see my wife. He tells me that he was just released from prison in Tx. I think about it for a minute, and ask what he was in for. He replies, "Murder. And before you ask, yes I did it. I came home, and found my wife in bed with another man. I shot him, he died a few days later.". I thought about it for a minute, and said "OK, can understand that. Doesn't look like I'm in any danger.", and I laugh.
He replies, "Nope, not unless you happen to know my wife.".
I laugh, and ask where he's headed.
He tells me, "Florida...that's where my wife's at now."
I told him that I'd heard enough, he could keep the book, and good luck to him!!!
True story...happened back in 1988. Says a lot about Texans too! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Which would help explain perhaps why I avoided the polls? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
