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."
