Th closest I've ever came to having a bouncy is back in 2008, before the election, when I was working at Walmart in the electronics department.
This guy and I were having a friendly discussion about politics, he was a liberal. He mentioned that he was voting for Zero, because he wasn't voting for "Burns and Allen" (his pet phrase for McCain and Palin).
I told him I'd rather have Burns and Allen than "Buffalo Joe and Howdy Doody".
We went back and forth for a bit, trading quips and bad jokes. At one time, I noticed he had a handgun concealed under his jacket. He told me he was a disabled vet, and this was his "American Express" card, he never left home without it. He asked me if I was nervous about him carrying a gun, and I said, "No, should I be?" He laughed and said "No, not today."
He said I was the first conservative he had ever had a discussion with that actually made sense, one that didn't get mad and start yelling. I told him that politics wasn't something to loose your temper over, and besides, you can catch more flies with sugar than with vinegar. He shook my hand and left, saying "I'll be back." I replied, "I'll be here."
