The gag is working.
I bought something from someone off Craig's List today. In speaking with them while closing the deal, it was discovered she worked for the department of homeland security. Being stoopid, I came right out with an inquiry over if anyone there has had any success finding out where our president was born?
For about ten seconds, very long at that, remained dead silence(sorry can't say dead, it was a muted silence) the person smiled and genuinely bantered on and on about what a crock of $hit it is that the whole thing is. It was a big topic of chat in their office today.
Homeland security workers have to go thru the background grist mill to work there. They resent the story that's being offered.
