WHAT IF NOBODY VOTED?

Think the unthinkable: What if they held an election for president and nobody showed up to vote? What would happen?

I believe the federal government would take immediate action to reschedule the election, and Congress would meet in emergency session to make voting mandatory.

What else could they do, outsource it?

Meetings & Events

- Confidential notice: Low profile conclave to review progress of the project. Usual location, usual time, but enter with unusual nonchalance. Wait for eye signals. Good Ol' Boys

- Global Warming Watch and Mensa voted to merge into one organization. The standards for admission will rise, however, current members will be "grandfathered" into the new group, regardless of brain size.

- Last Man's Club is soliciting members for a new chapter, after Pete won the old bottle of whiskey and drank it too fast.

Overheard at Hurley's Hanging Gardens

- "How can you tell the good guys from the bad ones when Hitler and Mussolini were teetotaling vegetarians while Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin were boozing red meat eaters?"

- "My wife's started taking out the garbage and I'm getting real suspicious."

Wow! This is the only entry on the entire Internet that shows up when I google "hurley's hanging gardens"

My wife had an instructor once in "surf the web" class that offered a dollar to anyone that could come up with a Google query that produced only a single response!

Well, anyway, you must be an old Steve Cannon fan. I was just looking for anyone who could reveal whether Hurley's Hanging Gardens was a disguised name for a real location, or pure fiction.
