BREAKING: Local Man Watches Thom Tillis Town Hall, Spontaneously Develops ‘Common Sense’ Deficiency
🚨 RALEIGH, NC – Eyewitnesses report a shocking incident at a local coffee shop this morning, where lifelong resident “Big Mike” Thompson was seen clutching his head in agony after allegedly listening to Senator Thom Tillis answer a single question about grocery prices.
“I just asked him why we’re paying $8 for a gallon of milk while he’s voting on a bill to rename a post office,” Thompson told our team, still visibly shaken. “He started talking about ‘bipartisan bridge repairs’ and ‘streamlining the regulatory framework for maritime commerce.’ My common sense receptors just… fizzled out.”
Local neurologists are baffled. “We’re calling it ‘Tillis Brain Fog,’” said Dr. Karen Hayes at Duke Medical. “The patient’s internal ‘BS detector’ appears to have short-circuited from overstimulation. We’re recommending a strict diet of straight talk and, ideally, turning off C-SPAN for at least 48 hours.”
Thompson is now calling for a “Common Sense Protection Act” to require all politicians to answer “yes” or “no” to any question costing more than $4.99. “We told you so,” commented the Facebook group “Wake County Moms for Sanity” — hours before the post was deleted by an admin for “lack of civility.”
