Villagers, I've been watching crowds of over 100,000 supporters coming out to Obama campaign rallys in Portland, St. Louis and Denver. I noticed that Obama and Biden swept all four debates with their opponents. I see that the early voting enthusiasm and the polls are suggesting that Obama may win this election on November 4.
Barack Obama might win the election on November 4!
If he wins there will be a lot of people (some of our co-workers included) who will be afraid that an Obama presidency will usher in the end of days. They'll be watching us on November 5th (the day after the election) for signs of the end times.
To keep the peace and keep a lot of folks from getting nervous, we should develop a list of celebrations and behaviors we should probably avoid on November 5th:
Feel free to add to the list. We just want to make sure villagers all on the same page when Obama brings this thing home on November 5th.
Now go get your early vote on and let's make this thing happen!!!

To keep the peace and keep a lot of folks from getting nervous, we should develop a list of celebrations and behaviors we should probably avoid on November 5th:
- No crying, hugging or shouting "Thank you Lord" - at least not in public.
- No high-fives - at least not unless the area is clear and there are no witnesses
- No laughing at the McCain-Palin supporters
- No calling in sick on November 5th. They'll get nervous if too many of us don't show up.
- We're allowed to give each other knowing winks or nods in passing. Just try to keep from grinning too hard.
- No singing loudly, "We've Come This Far By Faith" (it will be acceptable to hum softly)
- No bringing of barbeque ribs or fried chicken for lunch in the company
lunchroom for at least a week (no chittlings at all ... this may make usseem too ethnic).
- No leaving Kool-Aid packages at the water fountain (this might be a sign that poor folks might be getting too uppity).
- No Cupid Shuffle during breaks (this could indicate a little too much excitement.)
- Please no "Moving On Up" music (we are going to try to remain humble.
- No doing your private "Happy Dance" (unless you're in your office with the door closed)
- Please try not to yell --- BOOOO YAH!
- Just in case you're wondering, doing the 'Running Man', 'Cabbage Patch
'
or a backhand spring on the highway is 100% okay.
Feel free to add to the list. We just want to make sure villagers all on the same page when Obama brings this thing home on November 5th.
Now go get your early vote on and let's make this thing happen!!!
