Politics

The School Report
Son: "Daddy, I have to write a special report for school, but I
don't know what Politics is."

Father: "Well, let's take our home as an example. I am the bread-
winner, so let's call me Capitalism. Your Mum is the administrator
of money, so we'll call her Government. We take care of your need,
so let's call you The People. We'll call the maid the Working Class
and your brother we can call The Future. Do you understand son?"

Son: "I'm not really sure, Dad. I'll have to think about it."

That night awakened by his brother's crying, the boy went to see
what was wrong. Discovering that the baby had seriously soiled his
diaper, the boy went to his parents' room and found his mother sound
asleep. He went to the maid's room, where, peeking through the
keyhole, he saw his father in bed with the maid. The boy's knocking
went totally unheeded by his father and the maid, so the boy
returned to his room and went back to sleep.

The next morning he reported to his father.

Son: "Dad, now I think I understand what Politics is."

Father: "Good son! Can you explain it to me in your own words?"

Son: "Well Dad, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class,
Government is sound asleep, the People are being completely ignored
and the Future is full of $hit."
