Election Supplies on Aisle Nine

November 4, 2008
I was in CVS Pharmacy yesterday getting some Excedrin Migraine to prepare for election day. Politics has always been really low on favorites list but this year has been more interesting than others. I’m great at decision making when it comes to things that are clear to me. However, how can I make a decision about this election when I’m befuddled by both of the candidates? It’s just a crap-shoot as far as I’m concerned.

Back to CVS. As I was walking through the store to pick up my extreme headache medicine, I looked up at the signs on the next aisle and thought, “Holy cow! That’s a good aisle for voters!” Or at least for people with a crap-load of problems. I’m fairly sure that once this day is done, most voters will need one or more of these elixirs and potions.

It’s one embarrassing aisle to be on, that’s for dang sure. But I’m positive there will be many Americans heading to Aisle 9 on their way to the liquor store tonight. It’s just that kind of day.

Bladder control: For those long lines that everyone is going to stand in.

Itch relief: Use sparingly when everyone starts to get impatient.
Laxatives: For all the free donuts people will eat while waiting to vote.

Anti-Diarrhea & Gas: After the laxatives take effect.


I suspect “anti-nausea” drugs were sold on an aisle close by. We might all need those when they start announcing the “projected winner” hours before the polls close.

Happy Voting….don’t forget to stop by CVS, Aisle 9, to pick up your election supplies.

Patriotically yours,

    LOL! Sheesh- I needed everyone one of those supplies: waited nearly 3 hours to vote, hadn’t eaten anything yet and 7YO daughter was beginning to wig out with waiting.

    I think I’ll add some Pepto Bismol to the list too. My stomach is doing flip-flops.

    Hoo! That’s really funny!
    You have to wonder what genius thought those signs were a good idea in the first place. I mean, I know when my tummy isn’t doing so good, the last thing I need is a ginormous sign pointing over my head that I’m in the market for some diarrhea meds. What next, a huge sign with blinking lights for when you have that no-so-fresh feeling? You know a man has to be behind all of this.

    It often ends up being the lesser of two evils doesn’t it?

    I got martini’s and doritos and I’m ready to roll.

    lol! my stomach is in knots today with thinking about this election…I’ll be up all night waiting to see who wins!

    Personally I’ll probably opt for some serious narcotics. This election season has culminated in a migraine waaaay beyond anything CVS would sell me.

    Know any good dealers?

    LOL Cheryl, that is hysterical! And I agree with you about the candidates. To me neither is a good option.
