After voting on Election Day, I stopped at a bakery. As the cashier rang up some cinnamon rolls and doughnuts for the man ahead of me, the customer joked, “Do you guarantee these don’t have any calories?”
Straight-faced, the clerk responded, “Absolutely no calories.”
“You know where you’ll go if you lie like this?” the man teased.
“Yes,” said the cashier. “To Congress.”
