So I was watching TV last night and I get this phone call:
Guy on Phone: Is this Derek James?
Me: Yes.
Guy: Sir, on the 17-point proposed Dallas bond issue coming up for vote, are you:
A) Likely to vote yes.
B) Possibly likely to vote yes.
C) Possibly likely to vote no.
D) Likely to vote no.
Me: Well, I don't know much about the specifics of the bond issue, so I'm not sure how I would vote.
Guy: Proposition 5 allocates over $11 million for the development and promotion of the performing arts in Dallas, coupled with hundreds of thousands of dollars donated from local private citizens and businesses. Would you be likely to vote in favor of Proposition 5?
Me: I might vote for such a proposition, but I'd need to look into it more closely.
Guy: Would you like to put a sign in your yard stating your support of Proposition 5?
Me: I live in an apartment. I don't have a yard.
Guy: Thank you.
