Funny in anyone's political language...

Someone sent me this funny email - we'll funny if you put the politics aside. Following is an excerpt of this note between two parties unknown to me:

Dear Larry,

Last Thursday I put out one of my Kerry signs in my front yard. Between midnight and 3:00 a.m. someone stole it.
On Friday night I put out sign No. 2. Since I didn't have to get up early, I thought my dog and I would "stake out" our sign.
This time I put the sign a little closer to the gate leading to my backyard. With my dog on an extra long leash, I planted
myself on a lawn chair and read "The Art of War" by flashlight until about 1:00 a.m. Here comes the fun part . . . I
noticed that the car coming down the street was slowing down and pulling over to the curb right next to my yard. Sure
enough, he gets out of his car and heads right for my sign. Just as he was about to uproot and desecrate it, I opened my
gate and let my dog make the initial introduction! As he ran to hide behind the rear end of his car, I promptly moved to
the driver-side door, which was still open. It was a fairly nice car with power everything and still running. While my dog
continued to "introduce" herself, I rolled up the window and hit the power door lock button. With that, I slammed the door,
grabbed my Kerry sign and headed into the back yard.

And now for the "rest of the story." About 40 minutes later, I heard a knock at the door. I opened the door to one of our
city's finest . . . the Vancouver Police Department. The officer asked me what was going on and when I told him, he
could not stop laughing! I followed him out to the perp's car and stood there while he asked the guy a few more questions.
Upon learning that the guy lived a couple of streets down, I -- knowing what was about to happen -- asked him, "Why
do you have Oregon plates on your car if you live just down the street (here in Vancouver, Wash.)?" Larry, Oregon has
no sales tax, so often Washington residents will buy and register cars in Oregon to avoid paying sales tax . . . it's a crime
and the fine is pretty stiff. Here comes the best part. . . . The look on this guy's face told me he knew he was about to
get busted. When the officer asked for his license and registration, the "Republican" mumbled that (his license) was
suspended. Just for kicks and giggles I asked the officer if he smelled any alcohol coming from the guy! The officer looked
at me, smiled and promptly gave him a field breathalyzer test. Guess what? You got it, he blew a .10, legally drunk in the
state of Washington.

DUI, illegal registration and the brand of "MORON," all 'cause he hates Kerry!

Sincerely,
John

This is an urban legend. I read the same exact story only it was a guy with a Bush sign who kept getting ripped off.

Pretty funny. People who steal other people's signs are low and should get arrested.

And.....the "Larry" in the e-mail is none other than Larry Elder. Do a Google Search and you'll see that MINE is the more accurate version. So...nanner-nanner-boo-boo to you!

I recently saw a guy who had Bush-Cheney signs in his yard, there was also a handwritten sign that said something like "Dear Liberals, removal of these signs is not worth dying for" He also had a NRA sign on his door.
