The governor of the state of Washington tried to enter a bar in her own state last weekend.
Waiting at the entrance was a young man checking ID’s.
The governor couldn’t produce identification.
No problem, right?
She’s the governor, right?
Everybody knows her, right?
A quick smile, maybe a handshake and she’s in, right?
Wrong.
The 23-year old bouncer wouldn’t let the governor slide.
No ID, no entry.
Governor Christine Gregoire is 61 years old.
Did the young man do the right thing?
Was he correct in his position that rules are rules and he wasn’t going to let this woman pass through?
Of course he was wrong.
He should have used the brains God gave him, exercised some common sense and let the governor inside.
It was foolish to be as obstinate as he was.
But he’d make an ideal checkout person at Pick ‘n’ Save.
“Uhhh, excuse me ma’am, I mean, like, I know you’re the governor and you’re as old as my Grandma, but, uhhh, could I see your ID?”
Bouncer? Hell, he could be a doggone Pick ‘n’ Save manager in a heartbeat.
Here’s the story.
