George W. Bush wrote the Census Training manual

That is the only possible explanation because it is DUMB. I mean really really dumb, it wallows in it's stupidity. Did you know to pass the test to become a US Census employee you need to get a 12... out of 28. Really?!?!?! Even if I guess on every one of the questions I should get a 7 because there were four answers for each question. That means I only have to get 5 others right to be considered smart enough to pass the test. I have no words, they fail me. Also did you know that a cave could be considered a place of residence. So Batman could claim to live in the batcave?!?!?! Fucking A right that is the most bad ass home ever. Also a cardboard box is considered a potential residence. So what if you have a hobo in a box in a cave and another hobo with no box in the cave? OR what if you have several hobos with boxes all in the same cave is that like an apartment building? How do you label that as a residence. And is the hobo with the microwave box and no shopping cart bringing down the property value of the hobo with an HDTV box and Sam's Club shopping cart? These were the things that I was thinking while training today because thats how bored I was. The US Census counting on our toes since 1780.
