Which Reminds Me

I never liked the idea of running for election. During high school the one time that I was nominated I requested to have my name erased from the list on the blackboard because I don't have any illusions about being elected for any office, so why bother with the inevitable humiliation of not being elected? Better to just leave my name off the list of potential candidates because, anyway, that fictional election story in circulation is not really about me, obviously.
