Wanted to share this since we got a good laugh.
She got the phone and figured out it was a political call. Again. About the tenth one this month. See, my wife is from Michigan and she still has a Michigan phone number, and the DNC has been pestering her for weeks.
She figured out who it was, then told she wasn't allowed to talk to people without her husband's permission, just to put them on the back foot. She handed the phone to me.
I greeted them and asked who it was. She said her name was the same as my wife's name. My wife's name is fairly old fashioned so I'm pretty sure it was just a bit to try and build rapport.
She asked if I was planning on voting for Kamel and I said I was undecided, trying my absolute damnedest to sound apathetic and disconnected, the kind of people they're desperately trying to dredge up. She asked why, and if she could help elaborate on some issues for me.
I said "Tell me, is it true that Tim Walz ordered the entire state of Minnesota to put tampons in the boy's bathrooms at elementary schools? Because I'm a father of four and that just seems like pedophilia to me."
*BEEP
instantly hung up.
A friend of mine got one of these calls. She didn't say anything and handed me the phone at my request.
"Blah blah blah, can I count on your support to vote for Kamala?"
"Well, I would, but she has had a friend of mine locked up for 15 years on bogus charges after her office claims they lost evidence that proved he wasn't even there."
"Oh! Um, I'm sorry! Have a good day! *click*"
Oh, hi Pajeet.
