Little Johnny came home from school one day and said to his father,
"Dad, what can you tell me about politics? I have to learn about it
for school tomorrow."
The father thought some and said, "Okay, son, the best way I can
describe politics is to use an analogy. Let's say that I'm capitalism
because I'm the breadwinner. Your mother will be government because
she controls everything, our maid will be the working class because
she works for us, you will be the people because you answer to us, and
your baby brother will be the future. Does that help any?"
Little Johnny said, "Well, Dad, I don't know, but I'll think about
what you said."
Later that night, after everyone had gone to bed, Johnny was woken up
by his brother's crying. Upon further investigation, he found a dirty
diaper. So, he went down the hall to his parent's bedroom and found
his father's side of the bed empty and his mother wouldn't wake up.
Then he saw a light on in the guest room down the hall, and when he
reached the door, he saw through the crack that his father was in bed
with the maid. Because he couldn't do anything else, he turned and
went back to bed.
The next morning, he said to his father at the breakfast table, "Dad,
I think I understand politics much better now."
"Excellent, my boy," he answered, "What have you learned?"
Little Johnny thought for a minute and said, "I learned that
capitalism is screwing the working class, government is sound asleep
ignoring the people, and the future's full of shit."
