“What was he convicted of?” someone asked.

“He had tattoos on his body,” she replied triumphantly.

“Hey, smartass!” shouted a woman in her sixties, jumping to her feet. “You want to see my tattoo?”

“Lady,” the Trump supporter said. “You don’t know what a tattoo is.”

“Yes I do, I’ve got one!” the woman shouted, tapping her chest.

The Trump supporter dismissed her with a wave of one hand. “I’ve had enough of you Democrats,” she said.

      Was heading up 35 to the Cities last fall and came up behind an old pickup with Iowa plates. Guy was poking along 5 under the limit. I was just getting ready to pass him when all the sudden he veered hard off the road and into the ditch. I quickly pulled over to check on him. “Are you okay? What the heck happened,” I asked. “No, I’m fine,” he answered, “I was on my way up to the Fair, you know, and I was just thinkin’ about whether to go to the Dairy Building or the 4-H building first. But then I looked down and noticed my turn signal was on.”

        Is this a true story? Sounds to me like the gut may have fallen asleep or had some kind of mental short-circuit or something. I honestly can’t believe someone can survive to adulthood if they were actually just this dumb…

          I couldn’t swear to every detail but it’s certainly true that it’s a story.

          He was sorta funny lookin’, though. And when he got out of the truck to check the tires, he wasn’t wearing shoes, which was strange. So l said to him, “You know your socks don’t match? You have one black sock and one yellow sock.” And he replied, “Yup I know. Funny thing is l got another pair just like it back home.”

            Lord almighty… I’m truly baffled. It’s a funny story, but I’m a bit conflicted regarding whether it becomes more funny or just sad by being true…
