In all seriousness, as a young, political staffer I once got a request to place a sign in a yard out in Barrington…where there was already a sign from our opponent.
A man came outside and said, “No #$%%ing Dem signs in my yard!” A women, who I assumed to be his significant other, than came out quietly brought him back inside, and then after like a minute he came back out and very softly said to put it by the garden.
Not a caption so much as a reference, tidied for work folks:
Colonel: What is it supposed to mean?
Joker: I don’t know, sir!
Colonel: You don’t know very much, do you?
Joker: No, sir!
Colonel: You better get your (stuff) together!
Joker: Yes, sir!
Colonel: Now answer my question or you’ll be standing tall before the man!
Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir!
Colonel: The what?
Joker: The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir!
Colonel: Whose side are you on, son?
Just browsing the comments now…some funny stuff (and scary, I hope I don’t get t-boned, haha.) I’m a true blue independent, I’ve always liked Senator Durbin (I actually got to meet him where I work, at a university in Chicago. Nice guy.) But, I like Bruce Rauner, too. I think I saw the gentleman taking a picture of my car when I was stopped at a light yesterday morning, haha.

“Cars”
Here in my car
I’m confused of it all
I get looks from my friends
But it’s how I want to vote
So far
Here in my car
I can only receive
Ads from Bruce and from Dick
And I’m getting really sick
In my car
Here in my car
One finger salutes from afar
Some jerk keyed all my doors
Then yelled, “Yo - Up Yours!”
My car
Here in my car
I know I’ve started to think
About leaving tonight
But I don’t wanna fight
About my car!
