too generic?
Phillip Morris said today that the tobacco settlement is costing so much money that they may have to lay off 2 republican senators.
A local United Way office realised that it had never received a donation from the town's richest man & leading republican. The contributions manager cornered him after a Sunday service. "Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $50,000,000, you give not a penny to charity Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"
The republican mulled this over for a moment & replied, "First, did your research also show that my mom is dying after a long illness, & had medical bills that are several times her annual income?
Embarrased, the United Way rep mumbled "Um...no."
"Or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind & confined to a wheelchair? Or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident, leaving her peniless with 3 kids?
The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, "I had no idea..."
On a roll, the republican cut him off, "...So if I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you?!!!" |
