The Continued Adventures of Lynn's Hand; or, A Lady's Trial

-
I'm not saying I'm proud of the following email exchange, but I can't help it . . . it's funny. (For those woefully out of touch with quality television, Taylor Kitsch is the actor who plays the very smokin' Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights.)



FROM DEBBIE:
wanna volunteer with me for barack obama’s campaign?


FROM LYNN:
Sure! Do I have to sign up myself, or can you do it for me?


FROM DEBBIE:
hey, woman,
i would sign up for you, but i don't have all your info. (i mean, I have it SOMEWHERE, but lord knows on which floor. hence, this is just faster . . .)
i think this link should take you right to the volunteer sign-up page:
http://action.barackobama.com/page/s/volunteer
smooches,
barry’s girl


FROM LYNN:
“But . . . but . . . my HAND hurts!”
Okay, I'll sign up.
