A Little Joke For My New Friends At DU

[Mr. Ected]

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is Politics?"

The dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the head of the family, so call me the President. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the People. The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. 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. 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 peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, at breakfast the boy say's "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now." The father says, "Good, son, tell me what you think politics is all about."

The little boy replies, "While the Government is sound asleep the President is screwing the Working Class, the People are being totally ignored, and the Future is in deep shit."
