On a scale from one to five

I missed a call yesterday from some Republican Fund Raising call center. Since I was gone the solicitor asked my wife “On a scale from one to five how important is it to you that we retain a Republican Congress in 2006?

“Zero!” was my wife’s reply.

There was a moment of stunned silence on the other end of line followed by an explanation that the caller was just a hired gun and not personally affiliated with the GOP.
