d.: Hi, Cal.E. I was just calling to see how the election for Ruler of the Planet of the Talking Cats went. Have all the votes been tallied?
C.: Yes, d.c., they have, and it wasn’t a good outcome for me.
d.: So, you didn’t win?
C.: No, I lost by one vote.
d.: Wow! Maybe you could ask for a recount. That seems like it’s too close to let the results stand without a recount.
C.: No, in my galaxy, Meow Z. Tongue
is the final and deciding authority in elections of all kinds. He counted the votes, and Ronald Dump won by one vote. He’ll be the new Ruler of the Planet of the Talking Cats as soon as my ex-husband, King Tom’s reign is over.
d.: And when will that be?
C.: Whenever Meow decides that he’s too incompetent to rule the planet anymore. So, it could be any day now.
d.: Well, that’s a tough break, Cal.E. If you had won the election, you could have ascended the thrown almost immediately if what I’ve heard about King Tom is true. He doesn’t seem to be very lucid, if you ask me.
C.: The rumors are true. My first ex-husband is senile, and he needs to be replaced. I assume that Ronald Dump will ascend the thrown any day now.
d.: And that might have been you if one more cat had decided to vote for you instead of him. That’s a tough break.
Cal.E…..I’m going to ask a silly question now. Did you vote for Ruler of the Planet of the Talking Cats?
C.:......That’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner.
