Rollie Hills And Franklin Go To The Election
F: Duh, Hi-ya Rollie!
R: Franklin, Iʼve just come from a political rally and registered as a Republican
F: Duh, Gee Rollie, thatʼs swell!
R: Franklin, how would you like to become a Republican?
F: Duh, Gee Rollie, what do I have to do?
R: Itʼs very simple Franklin, just answer a few simple questions.
F: Duh, Okay.
R: Franklin, do you hate niggers and mexicans?
F: Duh, hate who?
R: You know, anyone with brown skin...anyone whoʼs not like us!
F: Duh, but Rollie, our skin is....
R: Never mind that, okay thatʼs a yes.
R: Now the next question. Do you hate homosexuals?
F: Duh, whatʼs that?
R: You know; gays, lesbians, transgendered...anyone who is not like us!
F: Gee Rolliie, I thought you said that you and I were....
R: Never mind that! Okay thatʼs a yes. Next question
R: Franklin, do you hate women?
F: Duh, Gee Rollie, why should I hate women?
R: Franklin, its a proven fact that ever since the 19th amendment women have had the right to vote. And ever since then the country has been in a state of complete anarchy!
F: Duh...it has?
R: Okay Franklin. The last and most important question.
Do you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?
F: Duh, Jesus who?
R: You know, are you a Christian? Do you subscribe to the ancient myths of our desert fathers?
F: Duh, but I thought you said that all desert people was terrorists?
R: Never mind that! Congratulations Franklin, you are now a registered Republican! Now go out there and Hate...er,-uh, Vote!
F: Duh, donʼt worry Rollie, I always vote liberally!
R: Nooooo! ....Franklin!
