He noticed a police officer walking between the lines of stopped cars, so he rolled down his window and asked, Officer, whats the hold-up? The officer replied, The Prime Minister is depressed, so he stopped his motorcade and is threatening to douse himself with petrol and set himself on fire.He says no one believes his stories about why we went to war in Iraq, or the connection between Saddam and al-Qaeda, or that reduced funding will improve the Higher Education and Health sectors, or that his tax cuts will help anyone except his wealthy friends.So were taking up a collection for him. The public servant asks, How much have you got so far? The officer replies, About 200 litres, but a lot of people are still siphoning.
