My wife started growing a bay tree, or shrubbery or whatever. So I just pluck them off the plant. Seem to be better fresh.

I did put a 'Vote UCP' sign on Fuzz's lawn. It took him a while before he noticed.

I electrified mine but I don’t anymore because the pile of dead freemen on the land was starting to get out of control. I did make a killing selling off all the Ram trucks for parts though.

I mean, you can participate in politics without wanting to participate with a rando who shows up at your door at a time convenient for them.

And the part of your quote I bolded applies equally to those pitching their religion. I don't think politics is some big exception to being annoying.

And like I said before finding it irritating doesn't excuse being a jerk to Sliver's wife. That was totally inexcusable, obviously.

I just scribbled "off the island" and left it, since it was already covered in dog piss. Maybe dogs aren't so bad after all.

But a volunteer doing it? Nah, sorry I'm not interested is talking with you. Not gonna take someone's word that their candidate is super awesome just because.

Still wouldn't be a child like that dick was to slivers wife though. I recall reading an article saying in 2021 a liberal volunteer was spat on and threatened

Oh yeah, I turn them away too. The gear grinder was with this sad sack throwing the brochure at her and then telling her to pick up the litter. Like what a pathetic psycho.

But you can't expect all the candidates to pay you a personal visit, either. It's just like Santa, dude. He needs help from some elves.

Lol!

"We're here!"

Where is the island?

"The island was a lie. Now....get off the boat!"

I think you go on the liberal website and request a lawn some for him.

Cilantro = Wonderful

Dill = The Devil's Eyelashes. Just horrid.

Excuse me? How the hell do you like your pickles?

Probably harder to talk people out of that than their politics or religion...

It's true. For some, cilantro tastes like soap. Fortunately, I'm not a soapy, but one of my kids is. And, I've tried to 'sneak' it in to test the theory. Instantly recognized.

I hate door knockers of all stripes. The last thing I want to do is talk politics with some random who knocks on my door at some random inconvenient time. Don’t get me started on sales people.

Ring camera.

"Can I help you?"

blah blah

"No thanks"

I understand. Maybe I should say it is my opinion that people should be tolerant to politics due to its importance to the society as a whole. None of the other groups can claim that.

Wrong. Proper response: "Dill with it."

Can he still see your pickle and smell the dill from that far?

Bit of a pickle you've found yourself in, eh? No need to get salty about it.
