Pollster: You’re perfect! Would you ever consider going out with my friend Diane Finkelstein?
Voter: No.
Pollster: You know what? It’s probably for the best. Because you’re on the smaller side, and she’s so fat.
Voter: Are we done?
Pollster: Um, almost… almost. Oh, this is a good one: “You walk in your bedroom and turn on the lights — standing buck-naked in the middle of the room is Ron Paul, Rick Santorum, or Newt Gingrich. Which one of these options bums you out the most?
Voter: Wow. Uh… that’s tough… Ron Paul. No! Newt Gingrich. No… Ron Paul.

Voter: Yes!
Pollster: I can’t! [ continuing ] Do you like my new laugh? [ she laughs heartily ]
Voter: Uhhh… yeah. It’s fine.
Pollster: ‘Cause this is my old laugh: [ she laughs with a choked stifle ]
Voter: Uhhh… the new one. That is better.
Pollster: Um… Thanks! Okay. Uh… do you think I could pull off bangs?
Voter: Uh… I don’t know. What would that look like?
Pollster: I’ll hold this up. [ she puts her clipboard atop her to create the illusion of bangs ]
Voter: Uhhhh… Yeah. Sure.
Pollster: What about over one eye? [ she tilts her clipboard ]
Voter: Uhhh… sure.
Pollster: [ she moves the clipboard back ] Do you have a preference as to which?
Voter: Uhhhh… I-I-I don’t really have a preference…
Pollster: [ whining ] Ple-e-e-e-e-ease!!
Voter: Uh — bangs! Bangs!
Pollster: Ohhhkay… he knows what he wants! You would be PERFECT for Diane.
