While at the polling place to vote, the chap before me completed his ballot and stuck it in the nearest machine that looked like you stick ballots in. A woman rushed over to him (by this time I was waiting in line behind him) and stated that particular box was not the tabulator. She directed him to the correct box and I, nonchalantly, removed myself from the line and headed toward the correct box to submit my ballot.
“Thanks for making the mistake first so I knew where to submit my ballot,” I said to him.
To which he replied in a goofy but true way, “That’s how we become wise. We make mistakes.”
Stay Positive & Had I Known His Name, I Woulda Voted For Him
