An old man was lying on his death bed.
He was a life-long Democrat and in these last moments of his life, he decided to join the Republican Party.
His friend of many years was surprised and asked him, “But why? You’re a Democrat through and through. How can you change now?”
The old man leaned forward and explained, “Well, I’d rather it was one of them that died and not one of us.”
A New Zealander was hoping to immigrate to Australia.
Upon arriving in Australia, he was questioned by a customs officer who asked him, “What is your business in Australia?”
“I wish to immigrate,” was the Kiwi’s reply.
The customs officer then asked, “Do you have a conviction record?”
Confused, the Kiwi then replied, “I didn’t think you still needed one.”

A smaller crocodile turned to a bigger crocodile and said, “I can’t understand how you can be so much bigger than me. We’re the same age, we were the same size as kids. I just don’t get it.”
“Well,” said the big Croc, “what have you been eating?”
“Politicians, same as you,” replied the small Croc.
“Hmm. Well, where do you catch them?”
“Down the other side of the swamp near the parking lot by the Capitol.”
“Same here. Hmm. How do you catch them?”
“Well, I crawl up under one of their Lexus cars and wait for one to unlock the car door. Then I jump out, grab them by the leg, shake the shit out of them and eat ‘em!”
“Ah!’ says the big Crocodile, “I think I see your problem. You’re not getting any real nourishment. See, by the time you finish shaking the shit out of a politician, there’s nothing left but an asshole and a briefcase.”
Four boys were fishing. As their boat rounded a point on the lake, they saw a man thrashing in the water.
With no hesitation, they jumped into the water and saved him. It was not until they pulled him to shore that they noticed the man they had saved was Former President George Bush, who had slipped away from the Secret Service for a swim.
When President Bush caught his breath, he thanked the boys and offered them anything they wanted in return for saving his life.
The first boy thought about it for a while and finally answered. “I would like a presidential appointment to West Point so I can serve my country.” The next two thought that was a great idea, but one said he had always wanted to be a pilot so he would rather attend the Air Force Academy. The third boy chose the Naval Academy.
The president turned to the fourth boy, who was still thinking. Finally he answered, “Mr. President, I would like a burial with honors at Arlington National Cemetery.”
The president was shocked and asked the boy why he would make such a request at his young age.
The boy replied “Because when my father finds out I saved you, he is going to kill me!”
Four doctors were at a medical convention and discussing the state of medical science after hours at a local bar.
An Israeli doctor commented, “Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks.”
A German doctor said, “That is nothing. We can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks.”
A Russian doctor boasted, “In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks.”
The Texas doctor, not to be outdone, proclaimed: “You guys are way behind! We recently took a man with no brains out of Texas, put him in the White House for eight years, and now half the country is looking for work.”
Today, on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read “Vote Obama, I need the money.” I laughed.
Once in the restaurant my server had on a “Obama 08″ tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference — just imagine the coincidence.
When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept.
He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need — the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I’ve decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.
At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved the money more.
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application. Or is it that only the redistribution of someone else’s wealth is a great idea?
