Son: Dad, I have to do a special report for school. Can I ask you a question?

Father: Sure son. Whats the question?

Son: What is Politics?

Father: Well, lets take our home for an example. I am the wage earner, so lets call me Capitalism. Your mother is the administrator of money, so well call her Government. We take care of your need, so lets call you The People. Well call the Maid The Working Class and your brother we can call The Future. Do you understand son?

Son: Im not really sure, dad. Ill have to think about it.

That night, awakened by his brothers crying, the boy went to see what was wrong. Discovering that the baby had seriously soiled his diaper, the boy went to his parents room and found his mother sound asleep. He went to the maids room, where, peeking through the keyhole, he saw his father in bed with the maid. The boys knocking went totally unheeded 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.

Son: 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.
