Damn I need to go to Gertrude Hawk and get me some Peanut Butter smidgens. Might as well get a little plump before I work it all off for my Bahamas trip.

Nope nope nope. We don't bribe people to vote. Goes completely against the grain. Its a privilege that should transcend bribes. You should have enough pride in your country to do so EVERYTIME the occasion comes up.

Unless of course, you live in Chicago...........
Now back here in the east, Virginia to be exact the price of a vote is $2.00 and a pint of whiskey. You get the $2.00 before and the whiskey when you show your "I VOTED" badge. Also, our definition of an honest politician is one that stays bought.

OK.

This is it.

Beer, wine, whisky, chocolate, cheese or any combination thereof for people voting for England.

I won't be so blatant as the German contingent and post pics, unless I find some really good ones

Vote for Germany, get the chocolate, show your I VOTED-Badge to RWood and wash down the chocolate with a whiskey. Since it´s a secret vote the badge won´t tell which country you´ve voted for, will it?

unfortunately, no, I didn't choose that option. BUT, the next poll? Everyone will know who voted for what!

And I"ll keep a really close eye on Ravene......

Don't worry about it. At least you didn't feed Ravenne's insatiable lust for votes..............
