Political Humour II

 John Smith's Job

He started the day early, having his Alarm Clock (made in Japan) set for 6 an

to waken while his Coffee Pot (made in China) began to perk.

While the coffee brewed, John shaved with his Electronic Shaver (made in Hong Kong).

He put on his Dress Shirt (made in Sri Lanka)...Designer Jeans (made in Singapore)

and Tennis Shoes (made in Korea).

After cooking breakfast in his new Electronic Skillet (made in India)  he sat down

 with his Calculator (made in Mexico) to see how much he could spend today.

After setting his Watch (made in Taiwan) to the Radio (made in India),

he got in his Car (made in Germany), then filled it with Gas (from Saudi Arabia0

and continued his search for a Good-Paying-American-Job!

At the end of another discouraging and fruitless day, checking his Computer 

(made in Malaysia), he put on his Sandals (made in Brazil)...poured himself

a glass of Wine (made in France) and turned on his TV (made in Indonesia).

And then he wondered why he can't find a Good-Paying-Job in America!

Now, John's hoping he can get help from a President ... (made in Kenya)!!!

Heaven and Hell

While walking down the street one day, a Corrupt Member of Parliament

(that may be redundant) was tragically hit by a car and died.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. 

“Welcome to Heaven,” says St. Peter.  “Before you settle in, it seems there

is a  problem.  We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see,

so we're not sure what to do with you.”

“No problem, just let me in,” says the Member of Parliament.  St Peter then

 responded,“Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from  higher up.  What we'll do

 is have you spend  one day in hell and one in heaven.  Then you can choose

 where to spend eternity.”

“Really?...I've made up my mind.  I want to go to heaven,” says the Member

of Parliament.“I'm sorry, but we have our rules.” And with that, St. Peter escorts

 him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.  The doors open

and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course.  In the distance is a

clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians

 who had worked with him.  Everyone is very happy and in evening dress.

They run to greet him, shake his hand and reminisce about the good times

 they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They played a friendly game of golf and then dined on lobster, caviar and

The finest champagne.  Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly

guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes.  They are all having

 such a good time that before the Member of Parliament realizes, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises. 

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in Heaven where St. Peter

is waiting for him.  “Now it's time to visit Heaven...”

So, 24 hours pass with the Member of Parliament joining a group of contented

Souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing.  They have a

good time...before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

“Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in Heaven. 

Now choose your eternity.” The Member of Parliament reflects for a minute,

then he answers, “Well, I would never have said it before...I mean Heaven

has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.”  So St. Peter

escorts him to the elevator and he does down, down, down to hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land

covered with waste and garbage.  He sees his friends, dressed in rags,

picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls to the ground. 

The devil comes over to meet him and puts his arm around his shoulders.

“I don't understand,” stammers the Member of Parliament.  “Yesterday,

I was here and  there was a golf course and clubhouse and we ate lobster

and caviar, drank champagne and danced and had a great time. 

Now, there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. 

What happened?”

The devil smiles at him and says,

“Yesterday we were campaigning.  Today you voted.”
