The Politician in the Hospital

A politician awoke in a hospital bed after a complicated operation, and found that the curtains were drawn around him. "Why are the curtains closed?" he said. "Is it night?"

A nurse replied, "No, it is just that there is a fire across the street, and we didn't want you waking up and thinking that the operation was unsuccessful."

    I guess they're a necessary evil. Seems they go in clean and come out dirty. I suggest all seeking political office do the following:
    1. be willing to live off minimum wage
    2. no perts
    3. drug screens unannounced
    4. monthly lie detector test
    5. after leaving office they're on their own (no agent security)
    I feel in this way they will not be as eager to get back into office.
    Now that's what I'd call a public SERVANT.

    I am sooooooooo disgusted with most politicians. They are gutless and
    their primary concern in life is being re-elected. They have exempted themselves from social security taxes, given themselves an obscene
    retirement plan for 6 years of service and they have showered themselves with perks of every nature. Thank God in Missouri we have term limits.

    I am guessing he meant "Perks".

    OOOOOHHHHHH! LOL, sorry, I should have gotten that. My mind was thinking of objects that can be described as being pert...gotta get my mind out of the gutter, but then again we were discussing politicians.

    Sorry, all the extras. Well you still weren't out of line with the last guy in the highest office of the land. He was continually in the gutter so I can see the misconception.
