Reply #39: Oh! good place to tell this story:

[Bouncy Ball]

In September 2003, my husband and I went to Iowa to canvass for Dean.

Well, we were paired up with other Dean supporters from Texas, given maps, lists, literature and shit and dropped off in different neighborhoods in Davenport.

The two guys we were with were partners in life.

This truck comes barreling down the street, sees our Dean shirts, and yells out: "HEY! DEAN'S A FAGGOT AND SO ARE YOU!!!"

He drives on. Then he comes back around the block and drives really slowly next to us, just looking at us and smiling this shit-eating grin. I have to admit, I was a bit scared.

Then one of the guys we were with yelled out "Hey we're from Texas!" The guy said "SO?" And he yelled "EVEN THE FAGGOTS HAVE GUNS IN TEXAS!!!"

LMAO! The guy drove off, never came back.

Then (and please I hope no one gets offended by this, he was just being funny), his partner turned to us and said, totally deadpan "Probably a Clark supporter."

Oh I thought I was going to wet my pants. We all high-fived.
