I stopped by the Chevrolet Dealership yesterday, for a look at the new Silverado 1500 pickup. Just for fun, I took it out for a test drive. I wanted to sense that new feel before they become extinct.

The salesman (a man wearing an Obama "change" lapel pin) sat in the passenger seat describing the truck and all its wonderful options. The seats were of particular interest.

He explained that the seats directed warm air to your butt in the winter and cool air in the summer. Feeling like messing with him, I mentioned that this must be a Republican truck.

Looking a bit angry, he asked why I thought it was a Republican truck. I explained that if it were an Obama truck, the seats would blow smoke up your *** year-round.

I had to walk back to the dealership. The guy had no sense of humor.
