Lil’ Johnny on Politics
Lil’ Johnny goes to his dad and asks, “What is politics?” Dad
says, “Well son, let me try to explain it this way. I’m the
breadwinner of the family, so let’s call me Capitalism. Mommy is
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- well, consider her The Working Class.
Your baby brother, we’ll call him The Future. Now go think about
this 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 and
runs to his room only to find that his diapers are very soiled.
So the little boy goes to his parents room. Mom is sound asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding
the door locked, he looks through the peephole 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 what politics is now.”
“Good son, tell me in your own words then what politics are.”
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 shit.”
