Puzzled people at polling place


I voted. It went down like this:

I handed the pollster my driver's license. The pollster, who has been looking at driver's licenses all day, could not locate my name on my license. Aren't all driver's licenses in a state the same?



Trop
: "S_ _ _ _, Kimberly."

Pollster: "I never heard THAT name before."

Trop: [feeling chatty] "It's Asian-Indian."

[pollster looks up, notices my WHITEness]

Trop: "It's my husband's name."

Pollster: [paging through green-bar to the "S" surnames] "Oh my! There are TWO of you."

Trop: [gesturing to Court, standing behind me] "Oh yeah. That's Courtney. She's my wife."

Oh to have been a fly on the wall to see the look on his face at that comment!

He probably said to the woman working next to him, "See, I told you so. I knew if we allowed those gays to marry, the next thing would be polygamy."

Nah... I think it's the way to go, and far more effective on this crowd than any Pride Parade.
