stolen from the dark side


The king wanted to go
fishing. He called on the royal weather forecaster and
inquired as to the weather forecast for the next few hours.
The weatherman assured him that there was no chance of
rain in the coming days, So the king went fishing with his
wife, the queen. On the way he met a farmer on his donkey.
Upon seeing the king the farmer said, "Your Majesty, you
should return to the palace! In just a short time I expect a
huge amount of rain to fall in this area".
The king was polite and considerate, he replied: "I hold the palace
meteorologist in high regard. He is an extensively educated
and experienced professional. And besides, I pay him very
high wages. He gave me a very different forecast. I trust
him."So the king continued on his way. However, a short time
later a torrential rain fell from the sky. The King and Queen
were totally soaked and their entourage chuckled upon seeing them in such a
shameful condition.Furious, the king
returned to the palace and gave the order to fire the
professional. Then he summoned the farmer and offered him
the prestigious and high paying role of royal
forecaster.The farmer said,
"Your Majesty, I do not know anything about
forecasting. I obtain my information from my donkey. If I
see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty
that it will rain."So the king hired the
donkey.And thus began the
practice of hiring dumb asses to work in the government and
occupy its highest and most influential
positions.The practice is
unbroken to this date and thus,
the Democrat symbol was born!!!

loved it!
