Turtle and Canary, Monday (11/3)

Sokka wasn't entirely clear on this whole "voting" thing, or who was running for president, or any of it, really, but just like the old saying went, "when in America, do as the Americans do".

Which, of course, was the reason for the signs up all over the store.

VOTE WITH YOUR WALLETS!!!
Choose your favorite Squishy flavor
GRAPE JUDAS   vs.   RED
The battle of the century!!!
One Squishy = one vote
Which will win? YOU DECIDE!!!
All Squishies 10% off


Sokka himself had already 'voted' several times today, but to keep things balanced, he'd drunk exactly the same number of Red as he had of Grape Judas.


Today's Squishy flavors: Grape Judas, Red, Diseased Trout

"Why," Viki asked, mildly puzzled, "would anyone want to drink something that is diseased?"

"Why would I vote for either?" she asked, more confused now.

"Then why do you have to vote for one or the other?" she asked. "If they're both awesome, as you say?"

"But if they're both awesome doesn't that mean one can't be more than the other?"

Not to her!

"I suppose I could do that. Do you have small sizes then?" she wondered. "I doubt I could drink more than that, and with two of them I shouldn't like anything more."

"Thank you," she said brightly, moving over to the cups and the machine. "It's always nice to have a choice, don't you think?"

"Put me down for Grape Judas," Turtle told Sokka as she came in at some point that day, despite the fact that the refreshment she went to get was a soda from the beverage cooler.

"Sokka," Turtle gave him a look, "I own the place. I don't have to buy Squishies even when I want one. And while I appreciate your support of the democratic system here, purchasing a Squishy should not be what entitles you to vote for one. One doesn't have to get join a political party to vote for its candidate, do they?"

"And it will," Turtle agreed with a nod. "From paying customers. Not the owner."

Turtle sounded very authoritative on the whole matter.

"If we're talking about a free market economy," Turtle said, "which this is, then yes. Yes they do."

Turtle blinked.

And then, promptly, her palm met her face.

"Oh, Sokka," she bemoaned, shaking her head. "Sokka, Sokka, Sokka. I'm buying you a book on economics for Christmas."

"But don't you want to be good at everything?" Turtle asked. "Forget the else! Go for gold, Sokka!"

"I said for Christmas! You've got over a month until then."

"Okay, so now I have to get you an economics book and a calender."
