In desperate need of a new comforter, a Savannah resident frantically dug through the pile of runoff-related mail he had accumulated since the general election in search of the ever dependable Bed, Bath & Beyond coupon he had come to rely on for his assorted hand-soap dispensers and Eucalyptus bath bombs. After two months without even so much as a tune-up reminder from his car dealership, the man was convinced there had to be more amid the towering heap blocking his way to the kitchen other than candidate ads and letters from strangers imploring him to vote. His determination was buoyed after discovering a Christmas card his grandmother had insisted she sent. Unfortunately, when he ended up finding the coupon he discovered it had expired and the store did not accept ballot requests or campaign fliers as substitutes. On Jan. 5, the man went to his designated polling place to vote, holding out hope that bedding would be given out instead of stickers. The following day, the man was relieved to find that things had returned to normal when his mail once again consisted of bills and unsolicited offers to buy his house. He was also pleasantly surprised to find that he did in fact have a dining-room table after finally disposing of the election-related materials.
