Political Humour I

 Wouldn't it be great if politicians adopted this

“Pearl of Wisdom”?

We could learn a lot from crayons!

Some are sharp; some are pretty;

some are dull; some have weird names

and all are different colours,

BUT...

 they all exist very nicely in the same box!

This Explains it All

The English language has some wonderfully

anthropomorphic nouns for the various groups of animals.

We are all familiar with a Herd of cows,

a Flock of chickens, a School of fish and a Gaggle of geese.

However, less widely known is a Pride of lions,

a Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens)

an Exaltation of doves and presumably because they look so wise,

a Parliament of owls!

Now, consider a group of Baboons.

They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious,

most aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.

And...what is the proper collective noun  for a group of Baboons?

Believe it or not.....a Congress!!!

I guess that pretty much explains

the things that come out of Washington!

Donation

                             Father O'Malley answers the phone.  “Hello, is this Father 
                             O'Malley?”

                             “It is!”

                             “This is the IRS.  Can  you help us?”

                             “I can!”

                             “Do you know a Ted Houlihan?” IRS asks.

                             “I do!”

                             “Is he a member of your congregation?” further asks IRS.

                             “He is!”

                             “Did he donate $10,000 to the church?”

                             “He will!”

The Queen's Riddle?

Barak Obama met with the Queen of England.  He asked her, “Your Majesty,

how do you run such an efficient government?  Are there any tips  you can 
give to me?”

“Well,” said the Queen, “the most important thing is to surround yourself with

intelligent people.”

Obama frowned, and then asked, “But how do I know the people around me

are really intelligent?”

The Queen took a sip of tea. “Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to answer

an intelligent riddle.” 

The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. ”Please send Tony Blair in here,

 would  you?”

Tony Blair walked into the room and said, “Yes, Your Majesty?”  The Queen

smiled and said, “Answer me this please, Tony.  Your mother and father

have  a child.  It is not your brother and it is not your sister.  Who is it?”

Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answered,

“That would be me.”  “Yes!  Very good,” said the Queen.

Obama went back home to ask Joe Biden, his vice president the same question. 

“Joe, answer 'this for me. Your mother and father have a child.  It's not your

brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?”  Biden responded, “I'm not sure. 

Let me get back to you on that one...” He went to his advisors and asked

every one, but none could give him an answer.  Finally, he ended up in the

men's  room and recognized Colin Powell's shoes in the next stall.

Biden asked Powell, “Colin, can you answer this for me? 

Your mother and father  have a child and it's not  your brother or your sister. 

Who is it?”  Colin Powell yelled back, “That's easy, it's me!”

Biden smiled and said, “Thanks!”  Then he went back to speak with Obama. 

“Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle.  

It's Colin Powell!”

Obama got up, stomped over to Biden, and angrily yelled into his face,

“No! You Idiot!  It's Tony Blair!”

AND THAT, MY FRIENDS IS PRECISELY WHAT'S GOING ON

WITH OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN WASHINGTON,D.C.

Returned Mail

Can You Believe It?

The Government sent my Census form back to me! 

In response to question 4,

DO YOU HAVE ANY DEPENDENTS? I replied, “YES!”

                                     Illegal immigrants ... 2.1 million

                                     Crackheads. ... 1.1 million

                                     Unemployable people 4.4 million

                                     People in over 85 prisons ... 901 thousand

                                     Idiots in parliament ... 650.

                                            Apparently, this was not an acceptable answer.

WHO DID I MISS?
