The Reverend John Flapps was the pastor of a small town church in Ireland. One day, he was walking down High Street and he noticed a young lady of his congregation sitting in a pub drinking beer. The Reverend wasn’t happy. He walked through the open door of the pub and sat down next to the woman. “Mrs. Fitzgerald,” he said sternly, “This is no place for a member of my congregation. Why don’t you let me take you home?” “Sure,” she said with a slur, obviously very drunk. When Mrs. Fitzgerald stood up from the bar, she began to weave back and forth. The Reverend realized that she’d had far too much to drink and grabbed her arms to steady her. When he did, they both lost their balance and tumbled to the floor. After rolling around for a few moments, the Reverend wound up on top of Mrs. Fitzgerald, her skirt hiked up to her waist. The pub landlord looked over and said, “Oi Mate, we won’t have any of that carrying on in this pub.” The Reverend looked up at the landlord and said, “But you don’t understand, I’m Pastor Flapps.” The landlord nodded and said, “Oh well, if you’re that far in, you might as well finish.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods." -- H. L. Mencken | ||
