A Patriotic Post

Overheard this weekend: Woman: You bought a flag? An American flag? Man: Yep. One with a bracket, so I can put it outside easily. What's wrong with that? Woman: Nothing's wrong with that. I'm just amazed. I guess I never thought of you as a flag waver. Man: Well, I thought it would be festive for the 4th of July. Woman: -- Man: But the other day I saw Fahrenheit 9/11, and now I'm having second thoughts. Woman: [chuckle] You crack me up. So what are you going to do with the flag? Man: I think I'll return it. Woman: [laughs] So what are you going to do? Just walk in there and say "I want to return this flag?" Man: Pretty much. When they ask me why I'm returning it, I'll say I had second thoughts. Woman: That's got be the first time anyone has ever returned a flag. Do you think they'll turn you in to Homeland Security? Man: Probably. Woman: Yeah, probably. Happy 4th of July! *Note to Mr. Ashcroft: I'm pretty sure they were kidding.
