Overheard at the water cooler today: "Maybe Jeb will get in"

[burythehatchet]

These are normal looking people. They look like anyone else, drive the same cars as you or me and generally seem OK.

But something is afoul in Freeptown. They aren't happy with their choices apparently. These two were pretty down and out, reflecting on their choices. Then I heard it, in a hopeful tone that betrayed the desperate sentiment, "maybe Jeb will get in".

I wish I hadn't burst out laughing.

:rofl:

[Bicoastal]

1. Maybe Santa will come down from heaven and make it all better!

I share your :rofl:--what happened when you did that in front of them?

[Missy M]

2. They may be normal looking.....

but are you sure we haven't been invaded by the body snatchers?

[SammyWinstonJack]

4. I sat here thinking the same thing.

[ronnykmarshall]

3. Did you do a spit take?

[rodeodance]

5. Recall the Poppa cried--Bush blew any chance of Jeb being King--for a while anywhy-hope forever.

[Hoof Hearted]

6. I'm glad you did burst out laughing. Had to have felt good!

Give 'em a snicker for me too, if you get the chance. :p

[Ikonoklast]

7. Do they look like this?

I swear some human-looking parasites have taken over 25% of the population and signed them up for the Republican Party so their brains could get eaten.

[swimmernsecretsea]

8. Unicorns! Leprechauns! Four-leafed clovers!

These, and many other myths are brought to you by our friends, the Republicans! Now, none of you go sneaking off anywhere, there's going to be a group photo soon. Last time I had to pull that Larry out of the restroom. Smile pretty for the cameras!

Jeb. Sheesh. Isn't he busy filling in too many boxes in the crossword puzzle or something?:eyes:

[raccoon]

9. You need special glasses as in the movie "They Live!" nt

[niyad]

10. couldn't that qualify as "hostile work environment"??

you have my deepest sympathies for having to work with the truly brain-dead.

[burythehatchet]

13. Its funny, i seems that everybody is conservative here

except when you get them 1 on 1, then one can see that they are afraid to voice their true preferences for fear of being ostracized.

Oh, and the ones who are too ashamed to be called Pukes are now Libertarians.

[MuseRider]

11. This could be fun!

I imagine they have been talking up GW in front of you for a while, making you cringe. Well, now you can give it back. Every time you see them you could start to snicker and under your breath say "Jeb, oh lord, Jeb" and continue your snicker walking away, shaking your head. My guess, from knowing the few GW supporters I know, is they deserve it.

God that must have felt good.

12. These are Focus on the Family people, so I give them a wide berth

they are 100% zombies for Boosh.

[melody]

14. When they're rooting for Java the Bush and his mystical warrior friend

... it's a really sad crop of candidates.

[fishwax]

15. bwahaha

:rofl:

[AlertLurker]

16. If you think an 85% vote was impressive, wait until Jebbie gets involved!!!

If he gets into the fray, I predict a 95% Democratic turnout (as well as a 50% Republican to Democratic conversion rate!)

What else could you do BUT laugh? Clueless...abso-friggin-lutely CLUELESS!!!

:rofl:

[Virginia Dare]

17. I'd walk through a burning building on broken glass..

to vote against another Bush if I had to...:rofl:

[Didereaux]

18. not so far fetched if Repugs go brokered convention...would guarantee a Bloomberg run though

[KansDem]

19. "I wish I hadn't burst out laughing."

:spray:

Did you spray a little Culligan™ on them?

[DemGa]

20. Their field is so weak that McCain is "surging"

Still, taking nothing for granted. :)

[Javaman]

21. What kept you from grabbing the back of his head

and smashing it repeadedly into the cooler, all the while screaming, "don't you people ever learn????"

:evilgrin:

[backscatter712]

22. Tell us the rest of the story!

What did the freepers do when you burst out laughing?

We gotta know!

[burythehatchet]

23. Honestly, I try to keep my political discussion as much out of the office as possible

so I just pretended I was on my bluetooth phone headset.
