The Top 15 Problems With Holding an Election in Hell (Part II)
- No elections at all -- instead, Regis Philbin hosts "Who Wants to Be the Prince of Darkness?"
- Always limited to two choices: A) Fire, B) Brimstone.
- The results are held up until Strom Thurmond arrives to certify the re-count.
- The powerful "Dead Supporters of Mayor Daley from Chicago" voting bloc is ineligible, since they've already voted in the earthly elections.
- Results are always the same:
49.9% Hitler 49.9% Dr. Laura 0.2% Carrot Top
- Secretary of State in Hell? Still Katherine Harris!
- The elderly evil souls can't figure which eye to poke out on the election official.
- You'd think Satan would take your "Write-in Jesus!" gag campaign pin in the spirit it was intended, but the thousand rabid possums feeding upon your charred flesh would suggest otherwise.
- Harder to get unbiased election results by radio with all the stations set to Limbaugh, 24/7.
- It's hard to dupe the electorate when 86% are former politicians themselves.
- Every candidate promises the same thing: Lower taxes, protect social security, more ice water.
- Low voter turnout because the first Tuesday in November is also "Disembowel a Telemarketer Day."
- Having to shovel snow after a Buchanan victory.
- Who cares who wins? You're in Hell! There's still that little matter of eternal damnation.
and the Number 1 Problem With Holding an Election in Hell...
- Due to confusing ballot layout, many voters who intended to select "Beer and a Cheeseburger" mistakenly choose "Rectal Banjo Insertion."
