These are some of the better election quickies I've received. These are jokes which are funny, but which didn't really warrant posting separately. I post such a digest whenever I have enough entries to warrant it. Particularly selective readers will probably not enjoy the digests, and may want to killfile RHF jokes with "Digest" in the title - ed.

The following quote appeared in a CNN story about Ryder Truck Rental's
donation of the use of one of its trucks to move ballots from West Palm
Beach County to the circuit court in Tallahassee:
| It is not unusual for the company to donate its trucks. "We do it
| most typically on a philanthropic basis," said Allison Striegel, a
| spokeswoman for Budget Group, which owns Ryder Truck Rental Services.
| "We're very active in natural disasters, moving supplies in and out
| of disaster locations."
Finally, someone who recognizes this election for what it is.
Now maybe the Red Cross can provide temporary shelter to both candidates
until one of them can move into The White House.

>Subject: Will of the People
Ever since the US election, there's been a lot of loose
talk about discovering the "will of the people." What
all the pundits and politicians fail to realize is
that the system worked perfectly and the people got
EXACTLY what they wanted:
Another precious week of not having to call EITHER
of those losers "President."

G. W. Bush said that in Texas they guarded the border
so closely they never had to worry about any guy named
Manual Recount screwing up their election results.

They better hurry up and resolve this election thing pretty quick.
Americans are perilously close to realizing that the lack of a new president
isn't really all that bad.

Amazingly, rearranging the letters of
"Republican National Committee"
produces the words
"Inept ballot count: America mine!"

RHF needs to be known as WRHF... Then I could rush out to people and say "I
just heard on WRHF the Americans are going to decide the presidential
elections with an old-fashioned traditional duel!"
And they'd believe me.

Geoff Abrahams wrote a letter to the editor of the Sydney Morning Herald on
18 Nov:
"Not being a USAphile, I must admit a certain admiration for the American
voting public, When facing the prospect of the evil of two lessers, they
have performed the impossible and voted neither party in."

watching CNN "live coverage" from in front of the Palm Beach County Offices
in Florida:
"This is just like Elian Gonzales, only with Americans."
