Play A Day

Post Secret: I am a successful professional with a master's degree from a very prestigious private college. In local elections, if I don't know any of the candidates personally, I vote for the one with the funniest name.

Lights come up on MAXWELL in a voting booth decorated with red, white, and blue ribbons. He is voting for the president.

MAXWELL
[holding a ballot]
Hmmm... John McCain, or Barack Obama.... [pause thinking.] Hmmm... Well McCain's plan for the economy will be good for me, where as Obama's will be bad, because I'm rich. hmmm... [thinking]But McCain is also a war horse, and ass... [sighing, thinking] I guess I'll have to resort to the old method. [pause, clears his throat. Sing song] McCain, bobain, fee fi fo pain. McCAAIINN!. [pause] that didn't sound to good. [sing song] Obama bobama, fee fi fo momma. OBAMMMAA! [while checking the box on his ballot] Yeah, that sounds right.

MAXWELL exits the booth and hands his ballot to WOMAN.

WOMAN
Would you like an I voted sticker?

MAXWELL
Yes please, I want every one to know that my vote counts!

Lights fade.
