That Registered-Voter Aura
YPSIDIXIT bumped into one of the KYR petition stringers on the way home, on the #4 bus. Y. and stringer, Mr. Bibliophile, chatted enjoyably about books. Y. was glad this learned gentleman did not ask her what her current book was, secreted in my bike-bag for bus-reading. It is Pin-Up: The Shocking Untold Story of Betty Grable (with 16 pages of shocking untold photos!) Y. likes reading lurid trash at times and recently finished rereading one of her more colorful Elvis biographies (I have 3). Anyways, the conversation turned to the petition.
Y. "Oh, one thing I wanted to double-check with you: the petition-circulator has to be a registered voter. Are you a registered voter?"
Mr. B.: "Yep, I'm a registered voter."
Y. "I thought so, for some reason."
Mr. B. "I just have that 'registered-voter' aura."
Y. (laughs)
It's true. This gentleman radiates that beguiling je ne sais quoi that quietly, yet forcefully, communicates--Registered Voter.
