   Just sitting on the bus into the city sharing other people’s coughs and germs was the exhausting part. Not to mention the return trip which for some reason felt twice as long.

   Come on Luann, we’re your friends. Show us what a piece of miserable pathetic worthless garbage you are. Time for Bernice, the insightful therapist, to show up and inspire Luann with a Billy Joel song:“I don’t want clever conversationI never want to work that hardI just want someone that I can talk toI want you just the way you are.”

First round of voting eliminates all but 12. (Done electronically. Type in first and last name. A.I. algorithm sorts and tallies votes.) Second round whittles it down to three. 3rd round the top vote-getter wins. No electoral college and no having the House decide.
