Do they also make sure you aren’t a Ghost Dancer?
I ain’t got Jack.
In Soviet Russia, you don’t get Jack . . . Jack get YOU!

Of course, I could make the same comment about some of my Friday Nights/Saturday mornings.
It’s amusing to find laws still in effect that have outlived their necessity. I remember learning in junior high school that the constitution of my home state banned anyone who’d fought a duel from holding state office.
Really? I could’ve sworn it was red jello!
Far too obvious, my friend.
I always knew the Russians had vodka. I always wondered why they never developed red vodka.

Those damned, wacky Soviets.
I drank so much vodka & cherry Kool-Aid during my misspent youth that I used to think vodka was red (yet apolitical).
Just last week, my sig line said, “Where does Ernie Keebler go for a new sofa? L. Fish!” Now, I’m on a list somewhere.
When I went to my draft physical in the 1970’s, I was asked if I was ever a member of a huge list of orgs I’d never heard of. They freaked when I told them I had used an alias. Back then, magazines were mailed in alphabetical order, and some of them knew me as Baldwin Aaberley. I got my mags a day before the Bastines.
I went to see a speech once at Ball State U. by Rennie Davis, one of the Chicago Seven. He was recruiting for a huge demonstration that hoped to shut down Washington, DC. A man in the audience (who looked like a cartoon FBI guy) asked Davis if he was a member of the Communist Party. Davis laughed, and he said the Communists are so boring. I didn’t go to DC. It looked like a stupid plan to me, and I had to work, anyway.
The shutdown didn’t work. The government simply ordered everybody to come to work three hours early, so by the time the blocking happened, all the bureaucrats and warbiz guys were already there. :smack: It did embarrass the government, though. Ed Meese (IIRC) ordered the DC cops to round up thousands of people off the streets, including a few hundred non-demonstrators. They corralled them in soccer fields all day, and all charges were dropped the next day.
