What Is Politics?
Son: "Dad, I have to do a special report for school. Can I ask you a question?
.
Father: "Sure son. What's the question?"
.
Son: "What is politics?"
.
Father: "Well, let's take our home for example. I'm the wage earner, so let's call me Capitalism. Your mother is the administrator of money, so we'll call her Government.
Together we take care of your needs, so we'll 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, awakened by his baby brother's crying, the boy went to see what was wrong.
Discovering 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 ignored 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, "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 shit.”

Another email from my very wise 92 year old Mensa big brother.
Normally I would have posted this on my Great Non-Political Articles group but for two reasons I didn't
1. Politics are banned on that group.
2. A lot of people might not consider it to be a joke.
One of my favorite quotes about politics
"It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first."
Ronald Reagan
A lot of things have been called "the second oldest profession", lawyers, spying, the pub trade, etc etc.
That gives me the opportunity to tell one of my "lawyer" jokes.
What's the difference between a prostitute and a lawyer?
The prostitute can't screw you when you're dead.
