From KC in Michigan
MY SON WAS FLUNKING OUT OF COLLEGE SO I TOLD HIM, “YOU WILL MARRY THE GIRL I CHOOSE.”
HE SAID, “NO.”
I TOLD HIM, “SHE IS BILL GATES’ DAUGHTER.”
HE SAID, “YES.”
I CALLED BILL GATES AND SAID, “I WANT YOUR DAUGHTER TO MARRY MY SON.”
BILL GATES SAID, “NO.”
I TOLD BILL GATES, “MY SON IS THE CEO OF THE WORLD BANK.”
BILL GATES SAID, “OK.”
I CALLED THE PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD BANK AND ASKED HIM TO MAKE MY SON THE CEO.
HE SAID, “NO.”
I TOLD HIM, “MY SON IS BILL GATES’ SON-IN-LAW.”
HE SAID, “OK.”
AND THAT’S EXACTLY HOW POLITICS WORKS.
And thus, began the practice of hiring morons to work in influential positions of government.
This practice remains unbroken to this day.
