Three words which sent a liberal scurrying for the exit

So last Saturday night we're hanging out with some friends at their beach house. Sitting on the dock, drinking a few beers, shooting the breeze. A couple of their neighbors drift on over, introductions are made, we're all having a good time.

My wife brings up the Google indie film project "Life in a Day" wherein folks from around the world are sending Ridley Scott clips of their life on July 24^th. He'll pick and choose "the best ones" and show the results at the Sundance Film Festival. She goes around the table asking each person "what makes you happy?" thinking this might be good fodder for a clip.

After the usual banalities (my wife, my kids, my boat) from the 8 or so people there she ends up with me. Now I've had a few beers. I don't usually talk politics with strangers. But for Google? Why not "tweak" them a little!

So I look into her camera all serious and say, "I know what will make me happy. The first time I hear 3 simple words, probably the greatest three words ever to be uttered by man."

Now everybody is looking at me. "What 3 words?" someone asks. Very slowly I say,

"Former. President. Obama."

My host bursts out laughing, and there are good natured chuckles from a few others.

But one middle-aged woman goes white, like all the blood has drained from her face. She pushes her chair back, stands up, and says, "I'd best be going."

And with that she hustled out of there faster than Chuck Schumer making a beeline for a microphone.

Oh yeah, we definitely sent that clip to Google!
