Two of my co-workers just proudly told me they are going to see DICK CHENEY!

Let me set the scene:

I walk into the room to find the two of them fiddling with a video camera. Trying to be social, I ask, "What are you guys up to? That seems like a really nice camera"

To which they respond joyously, "Oh, we got tickets to go see Dick Cheney at the Spokane Airport! We're just getting the camera ready to record it." They then look at me with huge smiles on their face, as if expecting me to begin bemoaning MY lack of a ticket to such an event.

Enter awkward silence.

Coworker sensing the awkward silence...."You know, the Vice President of the United States?" Me: "Oh, I'm familiar."

Silence.

Me: "Ok, well then. You two......have fun."

Exit room.

When I left that day, I saw copious Bush/Cheney stickers all over the car they were driving.

I feel dirty.
