Well, the hot topic in Michigan right now is the bridge to Canada.  Presently, there is a bridge that connects Detroit and Windsor.  The owner of that bridge wants to expand it.  But, some people in Canada and Michigan want to see a second bridge built.

So, someone has started a campaign ad asking the citizens of Michigan to call in and vote for or against the new bridge.  Well, this is all fine and dandy except that the number that was given out is the number for the State switchboard.  And, the State switchboard operators were not given any information on how to handle these calls.

So, when the operators receive a call to vote, they tell the caller that their vote has been recorded.  They then thank the caller and hang up.

Of course, the vote hasn’t been recorded but at least the caller is satisfied and the operator has avoided an annoying confrontation.  Life is good.
