Election night irony

On election night they sent me to Baird to get what we call MOS, which stands for Man-on-the-street. That's where we go to some random public place and ask random people their opinion on something. It's not easy to do because you have to approach complete strangers with a camera. The issue this time was the alcohol proposition on the ballot. I was supposed to get some opinions on both sides of the issue. Baird was voting on whether or not to allow alcohol sales in stores. Well, after 5pm it's extremely difficult to get any people on the street (or town square) because everything closes in small towns like Baird. The only other option is to knock on doors, and that's even more awkward. I tried a local Mexican restaurant. Everyone eating inside was from Clyde. So I looked for another place to go. There was nothing. I noticed a place (which shall remain anonymous) with the lights on and lots of cars out front, so I went in to ask if anyone would go on camera. As soon as I walked in I noticed some flyers on a table. I had walked into an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting! I couldn't bring myself to tell them what I was inquiring about, so I just asked them where else in town I could go to ask locals about the election, not mentioning the issue. If I hadn't noticed the flyers or they hadn't placed them on the table, who knows how embarrassing the situation could have been. My thanks to the folks there for pointing me in the direction of a local steakhouse where I interviewed the cook (because there were no customers at the time).
