How Politics Works

A professor explaining politics to his Freshman Political Science class:

MY SON WAS FLUNKING OUT OF COLLEGE SO I TOLD HIM, "YOU WILL MARRY THE GIRL I CHOOSE."
HE SAID, "NO."

I TOLD HIM, "SHE IS BILL GATES' DAUGHTER."
HE SAID, "YES."

I CALLED BILL GATES AND SAID, "I WANT YOUR DAUGHTER TO MARRY MY SON."
BILL GATES SAID, "NO."

I TOLD BILL GATES, "MY SON IS THE CEO OF THE WORLD BANK."
BILL GATES SAID, "OK."

I CALLED THE PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD BANK AND ASKED HIM TO MAKE MY SON THE CEO.
HE SAID, "NO."

I TOLD HIM, "MY SON IS BILL GATES' SON-IN-LAW."
HE SAID, "OK."



AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW POLITICS WORKS.

Unfortunately true and it reminded me of the line from Laurel and Hardy that went something like this....'and that's another fine mess you've got us into....'

'us' being countries, the world, etc....'you've' being politics and how it works.

Wherever did Hollywood get a bulletproof horse, constipated with huge kidney stones, that has a glass jaw?

Sounds as though you have been looking at my x-rays. (

P.S. What about Wild Bill Hickok? Andy Devine, "Hey, Wild Bill, Wait For Me."

There are three kinds of people: those who can count and those who can't.

I thought there were I0 kinds of people — those who know binary numbers and those who don't.

There are also II types of people — those who read Roman numerals and those who don't.

There are two kinds of people - those who claim there are two kinds of people and those who don't.

Three vampires walk into a bar. The first one says, "I'll have a pint of blood."
The second one says, "I'll have one, too."
The third one says, "I'll have a pint of plasma."
The bartender says, "So, that'll be two Bloods and a Blood Lite?"

I've gone horseback riding about five times in my life....so I'm not an expert, I'm. Every time I've ridden a horse I do believe the stable gives me a horse that hasn't been ridden before and they always seem to forget to cinch up the saddle tight,,,as a couple of times the saddle and me have slipped around to the underside of the horse...and that ain't pleasant.
