"Understanding Politics!"
A little boy goes
to his dad and asks, "What are Politics?"
Dad says, "Well
son, let me try to explain it this way:
#1.
I'm the head of the family, so call me The President.
#2. Your mother is the
administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
#3. We're here to take care of
your needs, so we'll call you the People.
#4. The nanny, we'll consider her
the Working Class.
#5. And your baby brother, we'll
call him the Future.
"Now, think about that and see if it
makes sense."
So, the little boy goes off to
bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his
baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby
has severely soiled his diaper.
So, the little boy goes to his
parent's room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her,
he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he looks in the
peephole and finds his father in bed with the Nanny. He gives up and goes
back to bed!
The next morning, the little boy
says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics
now."
The father says, "Good, son, tell
me in your own words what you think politics is all about"
The little boy replies, "The
President is screwing the Working Class, while the Government is sound
asleep. The People are being ignored, and the Future is in deep shit."
