FAIR TRADE
I hope you rode that bicycle down here from the bank. This ain’t no sea-going swap meet. They ain’t gonna exchange it, for that…. that…. well, it ain’t no yacht, but it ain’t no rowboat either, even if it is painted light-loafer pink.
Them owner folks is Frogs – pardon my French – they’s Frenchies. You go aboard to ‘negotiate,’ and they’ll offer you some of that there wine, and the next thing you know, you’ll be in some camel-chaser’s hareem in Dubai.
Nothin’ good ever come from furriners and pink boats. C’mon, I’ll buy you a real man’s rum drink.

Today’s low-brow, red-neck, politically-incorrect, intolerant, machismo-laden rant is brought to you because…. I don’t know. Maybe because, in this supposedly enlightened, intelligent world, there’s still too much of it going on. Vote wisely. 😀

I am not sure which is worse, a life in a rich man’s hareem or getting plied with ‘real man’s rum’.

LOL. I was trying to think what to say to this one and I want to second what James said. Fun story that made me wince and grin at all the right places.

I haven’t seen one like that since the pink submarine in Cary Grant’s 1959, Operation Petticoat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpEcU0OEzhc

“Vote wisely?” Hmm. Let’s see, so far in my lifetime we’ve picked a:
patrician
haberdasher
army general
scion
Texas good ‘ole boy
tricky lawyer
peanut farmer
movie star
spy
fast-talker
baseball-team owner
academic
reality-TV star / psychopath
What are the chances of getting it right this time?

They weren’t all bad. The haberdasher ran the country like a business – not a business Empire. The movie star bankrupted Russia. The academic left the country at least a little better than it was when he took it over.
Four years ago, I urged for Hillary. In my opinion, she’s slicker than Slick Willy ever was – probably the power behind the throne. But she’s an “honest politician” in that, once she’s bought, she stays bought.
I don’t envy you your choices. Hold your nose and vote for the least worst. Biden is a bit less likely to ruin the country financially, but religiously?? Socially?? 👿

My list wasn’t meant to be all negative but just to convey that presidents are merely people, not royalty. Cynical, I know, but it’s true. I believe the founders intended the executive to be less powerful than it has come to be.
