He knows the electronic machines are rigged and it doesn't matter what he votes.

So he votes "present".

And there was a guy on Reddit who wrote a Frasier type encounter involving the sign...




Oh, I can see it so easily!

The scene opens as Frasier, Niles, and their father are sitting in Martin's Winnebago on a roadtrip to the east.

Frasier: What do you mean we're still in Texas, dad? How long are we going to have to be in this miserable humid state? If we stay here much longer, I may not have anything left to sweat out!

Martin: Oh, come on Fras, it's not all that bad. What about that classic barbecue we had last night? That was certainly a meal to remember!

Frasier: Oh, my red stained fingertips will be reminding me of that meal for weeks to come, I'm sure. shudders

Niles: Ooh! Ooh! Look up there! There seems to be some sort of produce stand one of the locals has set up. Dad! Slow down so we can see what they have.

Martin: What? No, we just started making time after your third bathroom break!

Niles: [indignant] I happen to have a very small bladd-

Frasier: No dad, let's take a look. We may just find something redeeming here after all. . . .

Martin: All right, but I don't know what you're planning on buying there. Unless you feel like snacking on carrots back there like a couple of rabbits.

[Niles pulls out a pair of opera glasses]

Frasier: You brought your opera glasses?

Niles: I thought we might have a chance to see a performance at some point along the way, and it doesn't hurt to be prepared, besides, I think I can see the sign. . . . It looks like they might have some exotic things! I don't recognize anything! They have something called "zoo-keen," or maybe "zoo-keen-ay?" I'm not sure.

Frasier: Give me those! [pause] Wait, that's. . . my God! How did they misspell zucchini so badly! And. . . what do you suppose they mean by "taters" and "maters?" It's like another language.

Martin: Taters and maters? Come on, that means potatoes and tomatoes! Honestly, it's not that strange.

Frasier: I'm ashamed that you understand that, dad.

Niles: I can see from here now, they also have "hallopinyo." [pause] Frasier, you don't suppose they meant to say jalepen-

Frasier: Unfortunately, we have to assume that they did. [grimaces] And what's that last one? A "bail pepr?"

Niles: "Bail?" Do you suppose that's some sort of prison yard vegetable? The sort of horticultural equivalent to "toilet hooch?"

Frasier: I don't know, and I'd prefer not to find out. Dad, let's just keep going. [pause] Dad! Why are you stopping?

Martin: I want to try some of these Southern jalepenos, I bet they're plenty hot!

Frasier: Dad, I'm not sure I trust anything these people are selling, not with the sorts of naming and spelling conventions they seem to hold to.

Martin: Now, just because they don't spell like some of you college educa-

Frasier: Dad! One of them has an axe! Can you just keep driving!

Martin: All right, fine. Suit yourselves. . . .

Kinda reminds me of a story..

Years ago when my oldest daughter was just a kid, she drew me a picture and signed it dralled by Brandy.

Her hillbilly Mom was quick to correct her.. and told her it was spelled d-r-a-w-l-e-d..
