Mr. Phillips: May I help you, young man?
Marvin Moonbeam: Hi, I'm Marvin Moonbeam and I'm running for the state legislature so I can represent people from this district like you! I'm here to listen to your concerns.
Mr. P: I know you, you are the weather fella from Channel 8.
MM: Yes, I did the weather at Channel 8. But, now I'm running for public office. What issues matter to you, sir?
Mr. P: I remember one time you said the sun would be shining all day, "not a chance of rain," you said, but then it rained like crazy all day long.
MM: Sir, I am sorry, but I only reported the weather, I didn't make it. Is there anything that you'd like me to know to serve you better at the statehouse?
Mr. P: Then there was the time that you said it was going to be in the 70s, you said, "Not a chance was it going to be a scorcher." It ended up being almost 100 degrees!
MM: Sir, again, I am sorry but I only reported the weather. That is one of the reasons I'm running for this office. I wanted to be able to make a difference!
Mr. P: Well, you already made a difference for me. On the day you said it would be sunny, I hung my wash out to dry and ended up with soggy clothes. The time you said it was going to be in the 70s, I waxed my car and ended up scorching myself in the heat.
MM: I'm truly sorry about that, sir. I know I'll be a better legislator than I was a weather reporter. Can I count on your vote?
Mr. P: You can count on my vote like I counted on your weather reporting; there's no chance.
