POLITICS
Son: Dad, i have to do a special report for school.
Can I ask you a question?
Father: sure son, what's the question?
Son: what's politics?
Father: Well, let's take our home for example. I am the wage earner,
so let's call me capitalism. Your mother is the administrator
of the money, so we'll call her government. We take care of
your needs, so let's call you the people, we'll call the maid
the working class and your baby brother we will call the
future. Do you understand?
Son: I'm not really sure, dad. i'll have to think about it.
That night, awakened by his baby brother's crying, the boy went to see
what was wrong. Discovering the baby had seriously soiled his diaper,
the boy went to his parents' room where, peeking through the keyhole,
he 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 bed.
the next morning:
Son: Dad, now I think I understand politics.
Father: That's great son, explain it to me in your own words.
Son: well dad, while capitalism is screwing the working class, the
government is sound asleep, the people are being completely
ignored and the future is full of shit.
