A conversation between a friend and a Conservative campaign representative.

OLD COOT: You're just buying into the Liberal slander campaign.

FRIEND: No, I actually oppose your policies.

OLD COOT: Which ones?

FRIEND: The one where you're opposed to gay marriage, for a start.

OLD COOT: We're not opposed to gay marriage. We just want a free vote in parliament to define marriage.

FRIEND: So you're in favour of gay marriage?

OLD COOT: No, we believe that it should be limited to a man and a woman.

FRIEND: Well, that's kind of discriminatory!

OLD COOT: No, that's what's right, because it's in the Bible.

And then after that, it descended into yelling and screaming! Actually, my friend asked him to quote the passage from the Bible that opposed gay marriage, knowing full well, as a former student of Oblate priests, that there is no such passage. The old coot said: "You're just saying that because you're not a Christian." To which my friend replied: "Well, you haven't read the Bible, it's obvious!" Then my friend who is a reporter asked him for his name because he wanted to continue the conversation in the media or with the old coot's constituency officers, then the old coot hung up.
