the conservative party of canada just called me and asked for me by name somehow...? and asked for money.
guy:
blah blah blah home renovation rebate blah blah blah economy blah blah blah ad campaign blah blah blah phase 2 (carries on for a solid 2 minutes) don't you agree?
me:
uh...sure?
guy:
heh heh, well I agree. So, do you think you could support your Conservative Party of Canada with a $200 tax-deductible donation?
me:
nope!
guy:
well, i understand, money's tight in times like these, i can't even afford $200...some people just say, "sure, cut that amount in half and i'll send you a cheque for $100?" Can you make a tax-deductible donation of $100 to your Conservative Party of Canada?
me:
nope!
guy:
well, we will be in touch in the future!
me:
oh.
guy:
thank you for your time tonight!
frown. how the aitch do you know me and why and why are you so ballsy as to ask me for money---not just a general donation, but $200 specifically???
it is one of those situations during which you are just flabbergasted and after which you think of all these great and inflammatory things you could have said! shoot!!!
