To date, the House of Representatives has worked less than 25 days this year. What do you think?

Old Man

Ryan Ridge,
Optometrist
"Maybe they're still working off the overtime accrued from the Schiavo emergency session."

Black Man

Joe Chandler,
Lumberjack
"I thought Wal-Mart's Tuesday/Thursday greeter looked awfully like U.S. Rep. Mike Conaway."

Old Woman

Alleen Barber,
Systems Analyst
"Take a classic masterpiece like the Anti-Injunction Act of 1793, and compare it to the monstrosity that is the current Postal Service Act Amendment Bill of 2005. See? You can't rush good drafting."
