Ted Gragg, who owns Myrtle Beach Indoor Shooting Range on U.S. 17 Bypass, has been having way too much fun lately.
It started when he learned that Broward County, Fla., was auctioning off its notorious hand-ballot voting booths.
"CNN did a story about them auctioning the old voting booths on eBay," he said. "I thought it might be fun to get one."
And how has that venture gone?
"We're a shooting range so we get a pretty conservative crowd here," Gragg said. "They love it. Sometimes a tourist will come back with a camera and have a picture taken with it."
It helps, with that conservative crowd, that a handwritten sign on the booth mentions how it "helped bring down the Clinton-Gore regime." Well, that and, of course, the U.S. Supreme Court.
Gragg and his pals have had their laughs and now he's ready to sell the booth for an asking price of $400. An ad in The Sun News promises to throw in another history-making product - a dimpled chad.
"It's right there," Gragg said, pointing to a paper speck. Yessir, it was a chad.
If you're interested - if, for instance, you are a card-carrying Republican - you might want to stop by and make an offer. You'll be the hit of the next GOP convention.
This is very funny! However, I think he should keep it for display but make up a "chad" paper target. On our next trip to Myrtle Beach in the Fall I'm taking a couple of guns and visiting this range!
Nope, no bias here. Well, presuming that all the justices cast votes in the Presidential election, they would have accounted for nine of about 100 million votes.
