Political snickers
by Miki SaxonAs I told you a few weeks ago, I thought I’d use Saturday to comment on relatively obscure politcal stuff that I found amusing. Not an easy task these days.
So I was cruising around the net looking and I found this,
Isn’t it funny how the word ‘politics’ is made up of the words ‘poli’ meaning ‘many’ in Latin, and ‘tics’ as in ‘bloodsucking creatures’?
Not bad.
Then I got to thinking about what you’d get if you crossed a Democrat and a Republican.
You could end up with a Demopublican (a demonstrating tavern owner [or tax collector]).
Or a Repcrat (an advocate of tranversely corded fabric).
Not nearly as good as the many bloodsucking creatures.
Rather than leave you on this beautiful Saturday with an iffy joke, I’ll leave you with another one I ran into in cyberland.
A little girl asked her father, “Daddy? Do all Fairy Tales begin with ‘Once Upon A Time’?”
He replied, “No, there is a whole series of Fairy Tales that begin with ‘If elected I promise’.”
