Note #1. Found left in the photocopier at our office.I have been drinking since Friday night despite the alcohol ban. (I stocked up and know a few places that have big tea pots.) If you find me, in a gutter or passed out on the BTS, please take me to the voting booth in ______________ district and help me vote for _______________.Note #2. Found in a five-star hotel’s toilets.I can’t be bothered to go vote and my Sunday brunch is set to finish super late. I’m hereby delegating my electoral privileges to my maid, Noo. (Sorry I don’t know her full name­­—do they even have those in Burma?) Please make sure she does not vote Pheu Thai. Anything else is fine—I don’t really follow politics.Note #3. Found (500 copies) at the Sisaket-Muang Thong match last Sunday, along with the vats of free rice wine.I ______________hereby promise to vote for _____________. I swear that I haven’t been bought and that the B1,500 I received was to cover my gas expenses to get to the polling booth.Note #4. Found on the ledge of a window at the SET.Goodbye cruel world. I just can’t take the stress anymore. I’ve read too many business sections and now don’t know which party would make stocks crash or soar. They all want to spend, spend, spend. Let my life be an inspiration for fiscal conservatism and this death be a hero’s death. Farewell.Note #5. Found on the door of our favorite hair salon.Gone hairdressing­­—oh my God, have you seen all the fabulous women in this election. I just can’t make up my mind. Yingluck looks totally fab but Chitpas must have terrible split-ends with that tacky ponytail. If I can just get five minutes alone with her, I could really make an impact on the final voting.Note #6. Sent to one of our moms’ mahjong groups.Dear Ladies, won’t be able to host this Monday’s session. You know how I feel about young men in camouflage. I’m off to buy some yellow flowers and will giddily wait for the tanks to roll in at Democracy Monument.
