Gerrymandering

My friend Kent and I were discussing politics at a bar in St. Paul.

"I blame gerrymandering," Kent said.

"Who's that?" I asked and looked at him before collapsing on the table laughing. "Did I just say that?"

"You should have just played that off," he told me. "I thought you were just being really clever."

"I wish I would have," I replied. "In my head I saw the word spelled 'Jerry Manderin' and thought there was some obscure man responsible for voter disenfranchisement everywhere."
