Election Win - The politician was sitting at his campaign headquarters when the phone rang. He listened intently, and after a moment his face brightened. When he hung up, he immediately phoned his mother to tell her the good news.

"Ma," he shouted, "the results are in. I won the election!"

"Honestly?"

The politician's smiled faded. "Aw, heck, Ma, why bring that up at a time like this?"

Have no reason why we thought of that particular joke with all the election talk here and on the national level.

That also reminded when the late Jack Bowman was running for democrat nominee for County Judge Executive. He won the primary with a vote margin of one. He called his father to tell him.

Jack’s father was a little on the hard of hearing and when Jack told his Dad he had won by one vote, his Dad replied, “What’s that son, you got one vote?”

Final Words...

I'll get a world record for this.

It's fireproof.

He's probably just hibernating.

I'm making a citizen's arrest.

So, you're a cannibal.

Are you sure the power is off?

Yeah, I made the deciding vote on the jury, so what of it?

I've seen this done on TV.

These are the good kind of mushrooms.

Let it down slowly.

Rat poison only kills rats.

Just take whatever you want, this is a ghost town.

It's strong enough for both of us.

This doesn't taste right.

Nice doggie.

I've done this before.

Well, we've made it this far.

That's odd.

Don't be so superstitious.
