ADVENTURE 3


Happy Halloween! Tonight we went to my boss's house for trick or treating. We got there on the late side so most of the kids were gone. My mom was with me (bless her for helping me move and not cry every night in New York withdrawals)  and as we walked up to the beautiful home (mansion), we both noticed an 8.5" x 11" paper on the door. Curious, we continued to approach the door to have a closer look. Turns out we didn't have to get that close because in all caps, the paper read,

NO OBAMA SUPPORTERS WELCOME HERE.

And underneath it was another sheet of paper with a lengthy quote from Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. Both of our jaws dropped. We weren't sure what was scarier - the costumes or the sign. Or the though process behind posting the sign...on a holiday. And then the door opened to festivities and fun.

All we could think of is what would have happened if we posted that on our front doors, one in the San Francisco Bay Area and the other in Manhattan. I'm pretty sure I would have had bullet holes in my door. Or tagged with obscenities. Or both. Only in Texas. What the what??!!
