Class Struggle
Son: "Dad I have to do a special report for school, can I ask you a question?"
Dad: "Sure son, what's the question?"
Son: "What is politics?"
Dad: "Well, let's take our home as an example. I am the wage earner, so let's call me management. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we'll call her government. We take care of you and your needs so let's call you the people. We'll call the maid the working class, and your baby brother we'll call 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 son went to his parent's room and found his mother sound asleep. He
then 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 unheard
by his father and the maid, so the boy returned to his room and went back
to sleep.
The next morning:
Son: "Dad now I think I understand politics."
Dad: "That's great son, explain it to me in your own words."
Son: "Well dad, while management is screwing the
working class, the government is sound asleep. The people
are being completely ignored and the future is full of shit!"
