I just got this in my email, my father-in-law's attempt at "humor", and I quote:
"A LITTLE SOMETHING TO CHEER YOU UP"
(Back story: My wife, who works in the family business (as do I) and has MS, had a bad fall three weeks and broke her arm requiring surgery. The night before this email, she had a seizure (her first ever) and we spent the night in the ER.
Between these two incidents, we now face medical bills that even WITH insurance will cost us $6,000+ and counting, out of our own pocket. Added to our insurance premiums and medication co-pays this year, and we will be spending about a quarter of our income on medical bills).
So, then this little gem arrives, and for some reason I don't find it particularly funny, so over the squiggle please.
It's just hit me !!
My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.
He has his food prepared for him. He can eat whenever he wants, 24/7/365.
His meals are provided at no cost to him
He visits the Dr. once a year for his checkup, and again during the year if any medical needs arise.
For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.
He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep. If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.
He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.
He receives these accommodations absolutely free.
He is living like a King, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever.
All of his costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day.
I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head.......
My dog is a Democrat!
Now, I started a reply to this, which would have ended "Then it hit me....
My intestinal parasite is a Republican!!"
But, I have to work and deal with this man on a daily basis.
Perhaps some more tactful Kossack could come up with a rejoinder to this. Me, I am trying to get my diastolic blood pressure down bellow triple digits.
