As the title states, I’m testing how to make a poll. The choices are deliberately silly ones for this purpose. ---

I can’t believe anyone in their right mind would vote for two fish. What’s wrong with you people? ---

I feel oddly compelled to vote in this poll. ---

Wait a minute. Have we ever seen Abe Vigoda and two fish in the same room? ---

It said this was a public poll. My policy is never vote in a public poll, but I also never pass up a chance to vote for Abe Vigoda, so I went for it. But now I see it’s not a public poll after all. ---

It is a public poll. You gotta click on the numbers. ---

Aha! Thanks. And now I see multiple choices were permitted. But really, it can only be Abe. ---

Of course [Abe Vigoda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_Fury) is the correct answer. Since this is a test post, and I’m recently back after a long absence I want to see if I can still make a link work. ---

Abe Vigoda is never late.
