TENSION RELIEVER - My funny Dan Quayle/CSPAN story

[Mizmoon]

Many years ago CSPAN had Dan Quayle's campaign advisor on. I guess it must have been during the second Bush I campaign. Anyway, I called and told the producer that I wanted to ask if Dan Quayle was going to run for president in 2000. But I lied.

What I REALLY asked him when I was live on the air was this:
"I read a story in High Times magazine about a guy who said he used to sell Dan Quayle POT! Is it true?!"

The moderator asked, "What magazine, caller?"
I repeated, "High Times!"

He grinned and then they hung up on me. Then Quayle's campaign advisor casually denied the whole thing.

But here's the funny part - for the next HOUR caller after called said how they thought I was right, Quayle MUST be on drugs to be that dazed and stupid! The campaign advisor was getting SO PISSED! I ruined the whole thing for the guy, and I've been laughing my ass off about it for well over ten years!

I will bet Quayle's balls dropped off.

3. Here's a friend's funny Quayle story

When Bush and Quayle were running for re-election, Quayle came to Norman, Oklahoma, where my friend was. She and her friends attended teh rally which was in a gym with both sides of the bleachers filled. Her position was behind Quayle and to his right in the upper part. Whenever Quayle came to an applause point, and the people erupted with cheers and claps, she and her friends would yell insults, which nobody could hear because of the din.

My friend, though, got too much into it and mistimed a shout. Quayle said something about how, "The other side doesn't like our values," and paused. My friend, expecting applause, yelled out in an otherwise quiet gym, "That's because your values suck!" All attention is now on her. Quayle turned and looked in her direction with that blank, nobody's home look, and four secret service men surrounded her position, standing in the aisles and followed her out to her car afterwards.

She was busting a gut trying not to laugh.

5. There's not enough weed on Earth to make someone that stupid.

Some things take natural talent.
