Yesterday, voting day, we here who wait for the library to open could stna dinside.
There are 2 doors. One opens into a lobby, and the other into the main library.
Well, the first door was open for voting.
Me and some other regulars who come to the library when it opens were standing there (about 10 of us), just staring around not moving.
This lady walks in, passes us all, tries the door.
“Oh, its not opne?” she says.
Haw!
I felt like saying,
“Yes, its open, we just like to stand here for no reason.”!
Anyone could’ve thought of something funnier I could’ve said?
I don’t know what you could have said, but the scene you describe reminds me of a feature they used to have in Mad Magazine. At least I think it was Mad.
Indeed, in a little feature called “Snappy answers to stupid questions.”
“Oh, it’s open…if you believe”
“Here’s your sign.” (Works better if you have something you can quickly write “I’m stupid” on; best if they’ve heard of Bill Engvall.)
I thought of one!
“We’re voting on whether or not to let stupid people inside today.”
“Oh my God! You want to rape me! I can see it in your eyes! You’ve got the crazy eyes!”
