STATISTIC OF THE YEAR
Reuters reports:
Posted by Tim Blair at December 31, 2003 08:10 AMPeople with "Bush for President" bumper stickers were three times more likely to order meat-topped pizzas than "Dean for President" drivers.
1) Domino's issues numbers like this every year. They make the usual media statistics look like the freaking periodic table.
2) Why on earth would _anyone_ order pizza under the name "Paris Hilton"? I can imagine a certain number of lunatics thinking the government is monitoring their toppings -- and can therefore see a "John Ashcroft" here and there. But Paris Hilton? I didn't realize anyone outside NY had heard of her until a couple of months ago.
Just call me Rusty Shackleford...

Posted by: Jackie D at December 31, 2003 at 08:39 AMAccording to the survey of 630 drivers, nine percent of people who answer the door in the nude tip more than 20%, compared with 2% of people in pajamas.
Where do the nude tippers stash their cash?
Posted by: Peggy Sue at December 31, 2003 at 09:13 AMthis finally settles the whole row about dubya's supposed "compassionate" bent:
Among political pizza findings, people with "Dean for President" bumper stickers on cars in their driveways tipped 22% higher than people with "Bush for President" bumper stickers.BUSH LIED PEOPLE DIDN'T GET TIPPED (enough)!!!!!!!!!!!111 Posted by: harm d. at December 31, 2003 at 09:26 AM

It's not that, its just that the nude ones most likely dont have exact change

How did we get started on this shit?
Posted by: ilibcc at December 31, 2003 at 10:10 AMAh, yes. My days as a "delivery god" for the best damn pizza in the world (email for directions). (I was a delivery god instead of a delivery boy because one semester finals week I delivered 84 pizzas in just over 7 hours without making a single mistake. Unfortunately, I didn't get tipped very well, either.) I'm willing to bet Domino's doesn't report some of the more interesting "tips" some delivery guys get. Money is great, but . . . ;->=
Posted by: JorgXMcKie at December 31, 2003 at 10:34 AMWhat I wanna know is, what percentage of Gore supporters ordered it without meat OR cheese?
This would give us a line on how Dean is doing with the all-important (in the Democratic primaries) vegan voting bloc.
(Remember -- if meat is murder, then dairy products must be tit-grabbing!)
This might also explain some of the nudity -- the Dean supporters can't wear leather belts, their pants won't stay up, so why bother with clothes?

Posted by: jc at December 31, 2003 at 02:59 PMThis is a misleading statistic! It presupposes Orthydox Jews will be voting for Dean which is about as likely as them voting for Rev. Al! Besides, everyone knows pizza is better with some dead animal on it. What are the DeanieBabies thinking?
Posted by: Kin at December 31, 2003 at 03:54 PMCome on, we all know Bush supporters favor a topping of oil and fresh baby Iraqi hearts.
Or plastic turkey.
Right?
