Systems Analyst
"Well, it's not quite bringing the troops home, but I guess it's at least a fairly pointless expression of the people's will."

Optician
"I wouldn't get too cocky, I bet the president can still find a way to screw up those wetlands."

Frank Mahoney,
Window Installer
"While this might classify as a check, I don't think it quite balances anything."
