Politics
[Scene: Dad and Son in the kitchen.]
SON: "Dad, I have to do a special report for school.
Can I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Sure Son, what's the question?"
SON: "What is politics?"
DAD: "Well, let's take our home for an example. I am
the wage earner, so lets call me "Capitalism". Your mother is
the administrator of the money so we'll call her "Government". We take
care of you and your needs, so lets call you "the people". We'll call
the maid "the working class" and your baby brother "the
future". Do you understand, Son?"
SON: "I'm not really sure, Dad. I'll have to think
about it."
That night, awakened by his baby brother crying, the boy went to see what was
wrong. Discovering that the baby had seriously soiled his diaper, the boy went
to his parents' room and found his mother sound asleep. He then went to the
maid's room and saw his father in bed with the maid. The boy's knocking went
totally unheard by his father and the maid, so the boy returned to his room and
went back to sleep.
The next morning he reported to his father.
SON: "Dad, now I think I understand what politics
is."
DAD: "Good, Son. Can you explain it to me in your own
words?"
SON: "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working
Class and the Government is sound asleep, the People are being completely
ignored and the Future is full of shit!"
If you have a favorite joke, please send
it to me. I'd be happy to post it on my site.
