I went yesterday to buy a new wireless phone. I went to the counter and asked to see one with mobile TV (which I eventually bought).
Anyway, the sales clerk asked why I wanted the mobile TV feature. “Are you looking forward to the Inauguration?” she asked.
I just mustered up a faint smile . . .
She told me that the last customer who bought that phone wanted it just so that he could watch the Inauguration while he was away from the office. Blech.
I would have given that salesperson my most put-on dumb look and said “what inauguration?”
I did that once with a hillery supporter at the Duchess County (NY) Fair in 2000 when she first ran for senate. There were tons of people and I wondered out loud to Mr.FF why the crowd. Some little old lady with a straw hat that said “hillery” poked her face in front of me and with a beatific smile said “hillery is here!” I looked at her and said “hillery who?” The expression on her face was worth it!
Next time, tell anyone with a similar remark, that you want to watch the Israeli’s reclaim Gaza.
That’ll shut ‘em up.
