political impersonator-an oxymoron?

Also titled "The Trash guy's DNC opinions"

I am not political. but I thought this was a very funny way to start a Monday.

Last Friday was trash day and when we got home, the trash can was gone. It's one of these big trash cans on wheels. The trash truck can pick it up without having the poor trash guy break his back. We had 3.5 inches of rain in a hour (something like that) so we had visions of the trash can being swept down the street by rushing water. We went looking but didn't find. Then my husband mentioned the can was a bit busted. Then we had a good time on the Big Dry Creek trail surveying the effects of a lot of water dumped into the creek. Big Dry Creek certainly was NOT.

Anyway, this morning - a huge truck delivers a new trash can. So I went outside to say hi, I'm glad our trash can is back cause I have some really stinky cantalope to get rid of. Also, I'm glad to see you because now I don't have to call your company.

The trash guy turns out to be a political impersonator ( is that an oxymoron? )

I'm talking 'stand up comedian' quality. I laughed out loud - loudly.

He did a dead on Bill Clinton impersonation. Sorry I just realized I can't tell you the funny things he said cause my Dad always told us (and I often quote this) "Never talk politics, gender or religion unless you want to get into an argument.".

I was trying to listen to the news and kept missing little snippets about the DNC. I am mostly interested because I am from the Boston area. Trash guy gave me the details on these 2 items.

  • Kerry did the Fenway Park thing - I thought - 'that was brave of him'.
  • Teresa Heinz Kerry said what?

    It was interesting to get my news from the trash guy (said with the highest respect) instead of google.

    oxymoron

    A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence and a mournful optimist.
