Can I ask you a question?" Dad: "Sure son, what's the question?" Son: "What is POLITICS?" Dad: "Well, lets take our home for example.I am the wage earner, so let's call me MANAGEMENT. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we'll call her GOVERNMENT. We take care of you and your needs,so let's call you the PEOPLE. We'll call the maid the WORKING CLASS and your baby brother the FUTURE. Do you understand?" Son: "I'm not really sure Dad, I'll have to think about it." That night the boy was awakened by his baby brother's crying so the boy went to see what was wrong. Discovering the baby seriously soiled his diaper, the son went to his parent's room and found the mother sound asleep. He then 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 unheard by his father and maid, so the boy returned to his room and went back to sleep. The next morning.... Son: "Dad, now I think I understand POLITICS." Dad: "That's great, son, explain it to me in your own words." Son: "Well Dad, while MANAGEMENT is screwing the WORKING CLASS, the GOVERNMENT is fast asleep.The PEOPLE are being completely ignored, and the FUTURE is full of crap."
