Up in Arms

The funniest thing happened to me right before the last election. Since I’m a die-hard Republican, I was asked to order wristbands for the entire group of Republicans from our community who were traveling out of town to see Senator John McCain give a speech. I tried to think of something really catchy to have engraved on the wristbands, and I finally came up with “John for President.” It was my hope that these wristbands would catch the attention of the media, and I would forever be remembered as the girl who designed the most patriotic wristbands ever. Something of this magnitude could someday launch the likes of me into my own run for president. Then the whole world would know what a genius I am…why, this could go down in the history books as the greatest thing to happen since Elvis!

The package of wristbands finally arrived, and just in time. The Republicans were already lining up for the bus, and I came stumbling in at the last minute with my package of wristbands. I was in such a hurry I hadn’t even opened the package yet. Just wait until they saw these brilliant wristbands, why, I could hardly wait to show them. After everyone took their seats and the bus started rolling, I carefully opened the box, so as not to scratch the wristbands. When I pulled out a wristband from the box, my jaw dropped to the floor. They must have sent me the wrong order, this was certainly not what I had ordered! The wristbands said “Free Entrance to the Nudist Colony parade!”
