Random Thought

The other day, I had to go to the Social Security office to get a copy of my ten-month old son's social security card. I recently moved to Cincinnati, so this was my first time in this particular office. Anyone who has ever had to wait in any government office knows that there is always plenty of time to think. Sometimes the thoughts are mundane(Didn't I get here before that guy?). Sometimes, they are obsessive compulsive (Did I turn off the coffee maker? What about the iron? Why did I iron my shirt just to come the the Social Security office?).

I was sitting so that the service window was across from me. On the right of that window, there were three pictures. The jackass on the left was Dick Cheney. The jackass on the right was George W. Bush. I don't know who the jackass in the middle was, but he was a jackass allright; by association. To the left of the window was the missing children bulletin board. As I sat and stared at the wall, I couldn't help but think how amazing it would be if President Bush's picture were on the missing children bulletin board. I can see the milk carton now... ...

Just under the picture, it will say:
Height: 5' 11" (but thinks he's 10' tall)
Hair: brown
Eyes: shifty
Answers to: George, Mr. President, Da Prez, Bushie

I can dream, can't I?
