I was paying bills earlier when the phone rang. Probably one of the few things I dislike more than paying bills is answering the phone, so I figured why not do two miserable things at once?
It happened to be a call from the campaign of the person I’m currently supporting for president. (See how gender- and party-neutral that is? Starting no debates here. Yet.) When I agreed to make a donation and the caller was verifying my information, he asked what I do for a living. When I said “writer,” it stopped being just a fundraising call. The campaign worker is a young poet. Both his parents are poets. He loves and hears music in his head all the time, and he thinks that’s why he writes poetry.
Suddenly, talking on the phone while paying bills got a little more fun. And you know, I gotta love a candidate who has poets making campaign calls.
I cannot tell you how much I love chance interactions such as this one…
I think it would be awesome if Dr. Suess made calls for campaign solicitations.
Would you, could you spare some bucks,
to keep out of office those sneetcherlyfucks?
You never cease to crack me up. =)

HAHAHAHA
Are BBQ Fritos actually running for President? I’d vote for ’em. Wait, no I wouldn’t. But they couldn’t be any worse…
Ha haaaa.
Maybe I’d just vote for the candidate who promised to give me unlimited access to BBQ Fritos. And who’d bring back C2 from Coke.
