3. I pissed him off in 1996

I was doing some grad work at Oklahoma State University at the time. A club I was in had a entry in the homecoming parade (consisting of us marching/dancing behind a truck holding a boombox playing music - we put a lot of effort into it). We and the other entrants were strewn around a neighborhood waiting for our turn to go, and I went over to the Young Democrats float and got a Clinton/Gore sticker. Not 5 minutes later, Inhofe came riding by on a horse. I told the club faculty advisor that I was planning on asking him for a photo and putting the sticker on his saddle blanket, and she agreed to take the photo. Alas, there was some kid waiting to give me an Inhofe sticker who had me in his sights so I couldn't - for the photo. After it was taken, I went around the other side of the horse and put it there. I hoped he would ride through the parade stumping for Bill and Al, but it was not to be. He went over to some marchers for a state republican candidate, and they found the sticker. He and his horse trotted back over to our entry just as we were given the go-ahead to move out. I was on the opposite side of the truck, ducking down, and looking through the driver's and passenger windows to see him standing up in the saddle, scanning the group for me with a pissed-off look on his face. I giggled the entire parade.
