Why I could never run for public office...

Featured Replies

When I was in the fourth grade I swiped a yo-yo from the toy counter at Woolworth's.  I'm sure my opponent would find out about it and use it against me during the campaign. 
 
Or worse!  They wouldn't find out about it until after I won the election and then they would try to impeach me.
 
To spare my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren the embarrassment it would be best for me to never run for office.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

I always knew you were a yo-yo.

LOL. Man, if that's the worst you've done don't worry about public office. You should be declared a saint and honored with a marble statue.

And this is why no intelligent individual will. Thank the media for the clowns we get as candidates.

Exactly what Bill said, no one good in there right mind would ever enter public office when all the best opportunities are in the private sector, or making your own fortunes. Even my 6 year old has said they would never want to be a Prime Minister, even she knows better 🤣

I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me 

I would estimate that at least 75% of people who become politicians do so for their own gain.  They are mostly con artists, liars, and scoundrels.

It's no wonder things are such a mess.

Just once I would like to see someone at a town meeting ask, "You lie, steal, cheat, bite, kick and gouge to get a job that pays less than you could make earning an honest living.  You keep telling us what you are going to do for us.  I want to know what's in it for you?"

Now that I'm in the old folks home I just might get that opportunity.  Candidates usually like to speak to captive audiences like the inmates here.  Next year they will start campaigning.

A sad tale. First he started with yo-yo's and then yesterday he stole a fish net and used it for no good purpose! (link edited)...

Everybody fishes in their own favorite places with their favorite fishing tackle.  I prefer fly fishing in rivers and streams.
