I thought the Heart Attack Grill was in Phoenix or somewhere in Arizona, not Nevada.

Roger Freeman: That’s nothing. John Ashcroft ran for the US Senate in a race during which his opponent was killed in a plane crash. And more people voted for the dead guy. Gee, I wonder why…

Heart Attack Grill… Where overweight people eat for free so they can get a heart attack. Nice business model.

Got it wrong, her milk was parachuted down. not the actual cow.

No, because the cow didn’t jump over the moon.

Something like that happened here, and I suspect is isn’t all that unusual. Here, a member of the city council running for reelection died during the election. Lawyers determined that it was too late to take his name off of the ballot. The voters were told that if he won, the rules about a council member vacancy would apply: A special election would be held, with an appointed interim member taking the seat until the election.

The family of the deceased decided the campaign should continue, to give voters a choice and a fair election.

Here, it was actually more complicated than that because, after the death of the incumbent candidate, someone else decided to run for that seat. Since it was too late to be added to the ballot, he had a write-in campaign. But, the dead guy got the most votes.

During the space race, several cows were shot into space.It was the herd shot around the world!(Source – MAD Magazine)However, during WWII, donkeys were parachutted to help build the Burma Road.

“the dead guy was replaced by his wife, Clare McCaskill. ".False. The dead guy, Mel Carnahan, was indeed replaced by is wife – but it was Jean Carnahan, not Claire McCaskill. .Typical ’Publican misinformation…

That cow didn’t parachute into a football game, did it? (“Eat Mor Chikin”)
