Joke

A small boy asks his dad "What is politics?"

Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it.

I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call

me Capitalism. Your mom, she's the administrator

of the money, so we'll 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. So the little boy goes to

his parents 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, 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, "Well,

while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class,

the Government is sound asleep, the people are

being ignored and the Future is in deep doo-doo."
