No one is surprised that Paste doesn’t have time to go thinking up lies that he then has to remember, right?
He might think up a JOKE that involves lying to you, but jokes are more fun than torturing the facts until it doesn’t look like you just pooped on the Mayor’s big moment.
And so Paste has learned that valuable lesson that so many of his contemporaries and 99% of politicians have never learned.
Blurt out the truth and own it. Own that stupid, thoughtless truth down to the bone. And yell it through a microphone so that anyone who wants to bust you on it just has to suck it up… and probably lie to their boss about why they didn’t stop you in the first place.
“We wanted something stupid and clever. The truth is just stupid. Clever, right?”
The mayor can do a press the flesh tour there, let the adoring public meet their elected official, and if the dude or dudette is smart enough, hand out buttons and bumperstickers and flyers for the next election. I thought it was a pretty good on the spot SAVE…
Look yonder not here politics isn’t the way to be
Well, it looks like Paste has saved the mayor the trouble of saying whatever long-winded speech he had prepared.
Good thing or bad? You tell me.
Is the vaping Samuel Clemens 2.0 nearby enough to appreciate Paste’s reworking of the quote?
Have you ever considered doing a Martin Handford style poster of the Outdoorfest?
Not ’til now!
Neat.
It’s hard enough trying to remember what really happened without having to remember made up stuff too.
