Mr. Jigglepants

I was talking with my friend Bryan earlier about how I wish to go to the polls. I was thinking about flipping a quarter in plain view, shrugging my shoulders, and filling out my ballot.

Bryan, as usual, had a better idea. An idea I like:

a hand puppet.

you need to take a hand puppet to the polls with you, and talk with it continuously, and out loud. Especially once in the booth, and for each and every office..."And who should we vote for Circuit Judge, Mr. Jinglepants?"...(high squeaky voice) "THE ONE WITH THE FUNNY MUSTACHE! THE ONE WITH THE FUNNY MUSTACHE!"

and while waiting in line, you should probably argue with it, too, but not about politics...i think an ongoing "chunky" vs. "smooth" debate on peanut butter would be so much better.
