Idea #84

Veronica reports that Margaret Thatcher will become the first woman Prime Minister of England.

Ron
You must be happy.

Veronica
Why would I be happy? I don't live in England.

Ron
Just another thing women get to do. The glass ceiling's there for a reason, you know.

Veronica
You are unbelievable.

Ron
I'm unbelievable?!? What's next, women voting?

Veronica
Women do vote, Ron.

Ron
When did this happen?

Veronica
About sixty years ago.

Ron
That's ridiculous. No wonder Kennedy won. A bunch of women voting with their nether regions.

Veronica
Ron, we're on the air.

Ron
So what? A man can't voice his opinion about a woman leading the country? At least we don't have that problem here. A woman will never be President of the United States. Vice President, maybe. But never President. I promise you that.

Veronica
How do you promise that?

Ron
I know people.

Veronica
Champ? Your going to have Champ assassinate any potential female Presidents?

Ron
(bottling up)
No. Who's Champ? This discussion is over.
(lifts up copy, clears throat)
Tonight on television, Boss Hogg will once again try to take down the Duke boys. I think he's going to do it. He was real close last week.
(to Veronica)
Did you see it Veronica?

Veronica glares at him.

Ron
That Daisy Duke. She could be President. President of the Ron-ited States.

Ron chuckles and Veronica shakes her head.
