SOMETIMES I CAN'T KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT

I was canvassing a likely voter and in the side yard were two other men.   One of them started to speak to me as I waited for the likely to check if others likelies were home and pretty soon the exchange became heated.   The Bozo told me he doesn't vote because it's a complete waste of time and followed that up with something else along that line.  I think I said "Good," meaning I was glad he didn't vote.  He then continued with some statements about money but I wasn't sure of the point he was trying to make.  When he said "I wasn't born yesterday" I said "yes you were."

That really pissed him off and he began telling me over and over again that he was a veteran, as if that made his case (whatever that was) stronger.   He stood up and asked me my age and then if I had served in Vietnam (he claimed to have done so).  I told him the truth - no, I had a high number - and he then sat down.
