Excuses for not voting or voting for the wrong candidate.
1) "I'm not registered... I only went in for a wee!"
2) "I don't think I can remember, dear. Let me see... uhmm... oh... oooh... uhm... was it, no, no, it couldn't have been, uhm.... just a minute... uhm, I'm awfully sorry about this.... uhm..." (continue until the pollster walks away)
3) "I voted for Ronald Reagan. Oh, you mean this time?"
4) "I voted with this finger on my right hand!"
5) "I voted for the candidate who's wife looks like Dustin Hoffman"
6) If the exit pollster has facial hair: "Would I be a bad American if I told a beardy man who I voted for?"
7) "I haven't told the truth to an exit pollster since 1955 and I'm not going to start now. John Kerry."
8) "Well, thank you for asking young man! First off I voted for John Kerry, then I changed my mind and voted for George W Bush, then I changed my mind and voted for Ralph Nader and then I changed my mind back again to my first choice, John Kerry. By this time I was on first name terms with all six of the election officials. Then security kicked me out of the polling station, so I assume I've voted for Bush."
9) "Are you an exit pollster or the election auditor? If the former, John Kerry, if the latter George Bush."
10) For Electronic Voting Poll Stations: "OH! Have you got change for a dollar? Quarters would be great and I'll go back in to beat my best score!"
Simply Useless Facts
The World's Largest yo-yo resides in the National Yo-Yo Museum in Chico, California. Named "Big Yo," the 256-pound yo-yo is an exact scale replica of a Tom Kuhn "No Jive 3 in 1 Yo-Yo." Fifty inches tall and 31.5 inches wide, the yo-yo is made of California sugar pine, Baltic birch from the former USSR, and hardrock maple. It was first launched in San Francisco on October 13, 1979.
Victor Hugo's Les Miserables contains one of the longest sentences in the French language—823 words without a period.
The largest web-footed bird is the albatross.
On July 31, 1994, Simon Sang Sung of Singapore turned a single piece of dough into 8,192 noodles in 59.29 seconds!
At 12 years old, an African named Ernest Loftus made his first entry in his diary and continued everyday for 91 years.
Toronto, Ontario was home to the biggest swimming pool in the world in 1925. It held 2000 swimmers, and was 300ft x 75ft. It is still in operation.
In 1968, Steve McPeak traveled from Chicago to Los Angeles on a unicycle. The trip took him six weeks, but he planned for the long bike journey. He brought an extra tire and a spare heinie.
The biggest bell is the "Tsar Kolokol" cast in the Kremlin in 1733. It weighs 216 tons, but alas, is cracked and has never been rung. The bell was being stored in a Moscow shed which caught fire. To "save" it, caretakers decided to throw water on the bell. This did not succeed, as the water hit the superheated metal and a giant piece immediately cracked off, destroying the bell forever.
Shakespeare's most talkative character is Hamlet. None of his other characters have as many lines in a single play. (Falstaff, who appears in several plays, has more lines total).
The largest school in the world is a k-12 school in the Philippines, with an enrollment of about 25,000.
France had the first supermarket in the world. It was started by relatives of the people who started the Texas Big Bear supermarket chain.
If you walked the entire length of the China's Great Wall, you would be walking farther than the distance between New York City and Miami, Florida. The wall stretches for over 1,500 miles. The driving distance between New York and Miami is just over 1,250 miles. Provided you don't get lost.
In Muddy, Illinois, the post office measures only 7˝ by 10˝ feet, about the size of a garden shed. If it wasn't for a sign hanging above the door stating, "U.S. Post Office, Muddy, IL., 62965," finding the tiny, wooden building could be difficult. It is believed to be one of the smallest post offices in the United States.
Zaire is the world leader in cobalt mining, producing two-thirds of the world's cobalt supply.
The world's tallest mountains, the Himalayas, are also the fastest growing. Their growth - about half an inch a year — is caused by the pressure exerted by two of the earth's continental plates (the Eurasian plate and the Indo-Australian plate) pushing against one another.
The biggest hog ever recorded was a creature named Big Boy who weighed in at 1, 904 pounds.
