OT:-)) The following conversation recently took place between an 8 year old and his father:
Dad, I have to do a special report for school. Can I ask you a question?
Sure son, what's the question?
What is politics?
Well, let's take a look at home. For example, I am the wage earner, so let's call me Capitalism. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so let's call her the Government.
We take care of you and your needs, so let's call you the People.
Since the maid is paid with money that I earn, we'll call her the Working Class. Your baby brother we can call the Future.
Now, do you understand, son?
I'm not really sure, dad. I'll have to think it over.
Later that night, awakened by his baby brother's crying, the son 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 where, peeking through the
keyhole, he saw his father in bed with the maid. The boy's knocking went totally unheeded by this father and the maid, so the boy went back to his room and feel asleep.
The next morning, he said to his father: Dad, now I think I fully understand what politics is.
Good son, can you tell us in your own words?
Well dad, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, Government is sound asleep, the People are being totally ignored, and the Future is full of sh!t. |
