Since it's vote day...
Oct. 14th, 2008 03:48 pmWhether Conservative, Liberal, NDP, Green or even BQ, I think we can all relate to this!
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What is
Politics?'
Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I am the head of the family, so call me The Prime
Minister.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we
call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call
you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will 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 parents' room and finds
his mother 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, 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 prime Minister is screwing
the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are
being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.'
