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 for an example.  I am the wage earner so
      let's call me 'Capitalism.'  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 can call 'the Future.'
      Do you understand, son?"
Son: "I'm not really sure, Dad.  I'll have to thind about it."
   That night, awakened by his baby brother's 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
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 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, "Dad, now I think I
understand what politics is."
Dad: "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."
