BELOIT, Wis. – Vice President Joe Biden appeared on "Late Night with David Letterman" on Thursday to offer up one of the show's famous top ten lists filled with jokes from the campaign trail. 
 
 But Biden started off more gently, telling Letterman and his New York audience: “I just hope everything is coming along all right in New York. You’ve been devastated in New York and New Jersey, and just know everyone’s thinking of you and we're doing everything we can to help." 
 
 Then, in a segment taped from the hotel where he spent Wednesday night, Biden moved onto the jokes as he listed the top ten reasons why to take advantage of early voting. 
 
 "You know who votes early? People with a backbone like a ramrod" came in at No. 8, and drew from the description Biden often uses to talk about President Obama's conviction to make hard choices including the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan. 
 
 And, drawing on a key word from last month's vice presidential debate, he said: "Not exercising your right to vote is malarkey – it's literally malarkey." 
 
 "Dave, I hope to hell you voted," Biden told Letterman after finishing with the list. 
 
 The full top ten list: 
 
 10. I'm not saying each early voter gets a free cheeseburger, but I'm not saying they don't either. 
 
 9. It's vastly more effective than voting late. 
 
 8. You know who votes early? People with a backbone like a ramrod. 
 
 7. At a less crowded polling center, there’s plenty of room to stretch out, linger and relax. 
 
 6. If you vote early, you don’t have to pay taxes. I’m sorry – I’m being told that’s not accurate. 
 
 5. Single and looking to mingle? Find that someone special in the early voting line. 
 
 4. Of course, there's the open bar. 
 
 3. Not exercising your right to vote is malarkey – it's literally malarkey. 
 
 2. Early voters will receive a $5 million donation from Donald Trump. 
 
 1. Honestly, don't you want this election over already?
