I worked for a Peu labor union, just their finances, and worked with rabid liberals. I was always the comedy relief for them. At my retirement party several of them wanted a signed copy of my book of stories when I had it published.
Some of my stories aren’t so out there to Texans, but they got a kick out of them.
I used to have to attend management meetings, and I would use my junior high skills, hiding magazines inside a folder to avoid boredom. One time I mentally came to what was going on, and they were talking about smart cars. I usually didn’t speak unless it was about budget or finances, so when I said, “can you imagine”, they all stopped to listen. I continued, “trying to pick up a woman in one of those things?”

They even thought that was hilarious and for several weeks I would be informed of sightings of smart cars and the drivers, asking what I thought about it.
