Home Improvement Gets Political
Posted June 19, 2009
My dad, a retired electrician, works part-time at Lowe's in the electrical department. Here's an actual customer interaction he had this week, as nearly as I can recall the wording:
Customer: Where are the lightbulbs?
My Dad: Do you want incandescent or compact fluorescents?
Customer: Compact fluorescents! I don't want those damn Obama bulbs!
My Dad: Actually, you won't be able to buy incandescent bulbs anymore after 2012 because of a law passed in 2007 by the Bush administration.
Customer: Well...what do those bulbs look like?
The guy went on to buy the compact fluorescents. Maybe Lowe's in this area should look into putting a Bush seal of approval on them to increase sales.
And if you're a commie pink-o liberal Obama-lover, perhaps they can show you something in a fly-swatter.

Seriously, your Dad knows everything about everything. You definitely take after your Daddy.
Happy Father's Day Russ!!

Seriously? Yeah, I know.
I love your dad.
p.s. My hub is in your town all week if you want to bug a bunch of teens on a mission trip. Oh, and at Sea World.
