If The Signatures Are Checked, You'll Just Have To Wait

If there was pizza news in this whole election thing going on today, you know Slice was sure to find it. And found it I did, while reading the New York Post, as a bunch of numbskulls in line before me fumbled with the voting levers and switches.

Of course, I could have avoided the half-hour-long wait in a dingy gym if only I'd have voted early, as did plastic-faced actor Jim Carrey. Then again, Mr. Carrey didn't actually have to do the waiting. He made his assistant do it. [Where can I get one of those?!] From Page Six:

Jim Carrey tried to beat the election day lines on Friday by voting ahead of time at the Beverly Hills City Hall. But Carrey, a native Canadian who became a U.S. citizen recently, knew it would be a wait — so he sent his assistant to stand on line for him. "It was like a four-hour wait," said our spy. Carrey relieved the aide after an hour, but the poor girl was so hungry by then that she and a pal ordered a pizza for curbside delivery. "Jim had a piece," the funnyman's rep said. Also on the early-bird line: Alicia Silverstone.

In other election-night pizza news, we heard on the radio the other morning that presidential election nights are among the top five busiest nights for pizza delivery outfits like Domino's or Pizza Hut. Anytime people are glued to their TVs this happens. Like the Super Bowl.

Also: Slice reminds you to vote. It's a mild pain in the ass, but it's kinda fun. And it goes fast. And, I'm told, it's important. Nevermind. By 4:15 p.m., I'm so sick of people asking me if I voted and/or reminding me to vote that I don't really care what you do. Just eat some damn pizza.

Lots of details to discern, but high-ho silver ride!
