How The Government Works

One day, a teacher assigns her kids to do some homework; ask their parents/guardians what the government is, since that's their next lesson. Little Johnny, one of her students, goes home that night and asks his father.

"Well," Dad says, "Think of it this way. I'm the president, Mom is the Congress, our maid is the work force, and your little brother is the rest of the citizens in the United States."

"I don't think I get it," says Little Johnny, thinking about this observation.

"Why don't you sleep on it, then?" Dad says. Little Johnny nods his little curious head, wishes Dad goodnight, and heads to bed.

Around 1:00 A.M., Little Johnny hears a lamp fall over. Unable to sleep from the frighteningly sudden noise, he goes to his little brother's room to see what's going on.

The small child is lying in his crib, and apparently, he knocked over a lamp, which was shattered all over the floor. "Oh dear," says Little Johnny, when he sees that his little brother crapped his diaper. He decides to go get Dad.

Little Johnny runs to his parents' large bedroom. He creaks open the door, and sees Mom sleeping, but no Dad! Little Johnny exits to find Dad, searching more of his large house. Eventually, he makes it to their maid's bedroom. Looking through the keyhole, he sees Dad "doing" the maid. She seems to enjoy it.

Little Johnny jumps into the air in delight. "Now I get it," he yells happily, "So the Congress is asleep, the President is screwing the Work Force, AND THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES ARE FULL OF SH*T!!"
