"Give me your honest opinion, Officer. Do these pants make my butt look big?"

Not hearing from bureaucrats is usually a good thing.
While we are speaking of goofy actions at the hands of government, I'll tell you about the Applewhite reservoir - short version.
The reservoir was half finished.
Eco-weenies and short-sighted bean counters called for a vote on whether to finish the project.
The language of the ballot was thus: Vote "yes" to cancel the project and vote "no" to continue the project.
Needless to say, the electorate voted "yes" in great numbers only to discover that "Yes" did not mean "Yes." The voters screamed for a a new vote with honest verbiage on the ballot. The new vote saved the reservoir only after two expensive elections for which the rate payers had to pay.
Punctuality is a viture, but Caption-o-rama is worth waiting for. Thank you again Silverback. Do your best upon circumstances.
