Voting is important.

“Oh, yeah. And, uh, you get a free jacket out of the deal.”

No, Bobby. That’s just you.

“I’m pretty sure it’s for everyone. Go down to the local elementary school, cast your vote, get a denim jacket. That’s called democracy.”

It’s not. Did the people from HeadCount give it to you?

“I was assuming that they were acting at the behest of the local electioneers.”

No.

“Ah. Well, I’m keeping the jacket, anyway.”

No one’s stopping you. Have you taken your own advice and registered to vote?

“I’ve voted in every election since 1965. National, state, local, all of ’em. If we were on the road and there was an election taking place, I’d vote there, too.”

I’m pretty sure that’s illegal.

“But patriotic.”

True.

“Representational government, man. That’s my bliss.”

God bless America, Bobby.

“And, uh, all the ships at sea.”
