Election Fatigue Syndrome

You may have EFS if:
-you scream "No, not again!" (even in public) when a political ad comes on for the 400th time.
-you feel like you're on a first name basis with candidates i.e. Did you hear what Mark did or I can't     believe Dan said that.
-you've seen more of the candidates (or their images) than your own family. This might also be a symptom of Candidate Saturation Disorder, which is closely related to EFS.
-you're counting the minutes until this election is over.
-you immediately discard all your mail, even checks and bills, because of the glut of political mailings.

2) Marched on Washington
  -late for civil rights march but Danita and I trooped behind John (who set a blistering pace)
  on the supposed 3 mile walk, which had to be at least five.
3) Ate scrapple
  - thought I had pleasant memories of eating this in childhood but must have been mistaken.
