Phone Call

Recent telephone call ............. could be from a recent winner in a gubernatorial election in the Midwest. I actually got an Email from the governor elect who wanted my ideas and suggestions to get the state back on its feet. I sent him an Email,, "You said you had solutions, that's why I voted for you.' He also wanted a resume, for some reason, and, I think he would accept donations ........ I could picture him making the call below ..

Oh, hi, this is your new governor, or the governor elect, is your mommy home?

Ok, could I talk with her?

Hi, I'm the newly elected Governor of this state, and ah, well, I made a lot of promises and told everyone that I had solutions to our problems ... and ... ah ..... well, I got elected and I was wondering if you had any good ideas that I might use.

Ah, no, I am serious, I'm going down my list of contributors and your name was on the list. Oh, and ah thanks for that nice donation, it helped me get elected.

Have you lived in the state long?

Oh, great, then you must have some ideas.

Well, I know what I said, but, well, to be honest, I made a lot of statements and promises that were, well, said to get me elected, to be honest about it.

Frankly, I never thought I would win, but I did, and now I have to do something, and to be honest with you, I'm at a loss.

You, ah, really don't have any ideas or suggestions. Well, no, we can't send your money back.

Lady, I just thought you might have some good ideas that I could use.

Hey that's not nice.
