"THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER" a story in political correctness.

    OLD VERSION:

    The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his
    house and laying up supplies for the winter.

    The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and
plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

    The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

    MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!


    ************************************************************

    MODERN VERSION:

    The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his
    house and laying up supplies for the winter.

    The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and
plays the summer away.

    Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and
    demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed
    while others are cold and starving.

    CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the
shivering  grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a
    table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

    How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor
grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

    Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody
    cries when they sing, "It's Not Easy Being Green."

    Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where
    the news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome." Jesse
    then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.

 Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that
    the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call
  for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

    Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act
    retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for
failing  to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left
to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.

    Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a
    defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel
of  federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent
 welfare recipients.

    The ant loses the case.

    The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of
    the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens
    to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't
    maintain it.

    The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper is found dead in a
 drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a
    gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.

 MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote

A just government has nothing to fear from an armed populace!

Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Redneck?

Here is a little test that will help you decide.
The answer can be found by posing the following question:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife
and two small children.

Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife
comes around the corner, locks eyes with you,
screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the
knife, and charges at you.

You are carrying a Glock  cal 40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?
...............................................................
THINK CAREFULLY AND THEN SCROLL DOWN




Democrat's Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire
him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock
the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind
of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be
content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my
family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and
make this happier, healthier street that would
Discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with
Some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.


Republican's Answer:
BANG!



Redneck' s Answer:
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
BANG! Click..... (Sounds of reloading)
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
BANG! Click
Daughter: 'Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the
Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?'
Son: 'Can I shoot the next one!'
Wife: 'You ain't taking that to the Taxidermist

This is for the older folks to laugh at and the younger ones to wonder about.

I had a friend who used to turn his hearing aid off completely which allowed
 him to just smile at everyone. Wonder what happened to 'Smilin Jack'?
 
 
An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He
 went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of
 hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.
 The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said,
 'Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can
 hear again.'
 The gentleman replied, 'Oh, I haven't told my family yet'.
 I just sit around and listen to the
 conversations. I've changed my Will three times already!'

 
Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under
a tree when one turns to the other and says: 'Slim, I'm 83 years old now and
 I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you
 feel?'
 Slim says, 'I feel just like a newborn baby.'
'Really!? Like a newborn baby!?'
 'Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.'

 
An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the
 wives left the table and went into the kitchen.
 The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a
 new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.'
 The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?'
 The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What is the name of that
 flower you give to someone you love?
 You know... The one that's red and has thorns.'
 'Do you mean a rose?'
 'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen
 and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'

 
Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged.
 However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman
 already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who
 insisted he! Didn't need my help to leave the hospital.
 After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the
 elevator.
 On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.
 'I don't know,' he said. 'She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out
 of her hospital gown.'
 
 
Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During
 a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might
 want to start writing things down to help them remember
 Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair.
 'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks.
 'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?'
 'Sure.'
 'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks.
 'No, I can remember it.'
 'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it
 down, so's not to forget it?'
 He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with
 strawberries. '
 'I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?'
 she asks.
 Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice
 cream  with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!'
 Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes,
 The old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and
 eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment.
 'Where's my toast ?'
 
 
A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy:
 'So I hear you're getting married?'
 'Yep!'
 'Do I know her?'
 'Nope!'
 'This woman, is she good looking?'
 'Not really.'
 'Is she a good cook?'
 'Naw, she can't cook too well.'
 'Does she have lots of money?'
 'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.'
 'Well, then, is she good in bed?'
 'I don't know.'
 'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?'
 'Because she can still drive!'
 
 
Three old guys are out walking.
 First one says, 'Windy, isn't it?'
 Second one says, 'No, it's Thursday!'
 Third one says, 'So am I. Let's go get a beer.'
 
 
A man was telling his neighbor, 'I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost
me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect.'
 'Really,' answered the neighbor . 'What kind is it?'
 'Twelve thirty.'
 
 
Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
 A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a
 gorgeous young woman on his arm.
 A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really
 doing great, aren't you?'
 Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be
 cheerful.''
 The doctor said, 'I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be
 careful.'
 
 
One more. . .!
 
A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself
 slowly, painfully, up onto a stool.. After catching his breath, he ordered
 a banana split.
 The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?'
 'No,' he replied, 'Arthritis.'

This is kinda one of those things that when you watch it , you snicker and smile.. , but the scary part about it is that it's probably not too far away from being reality. Actually it's rather frightening!

OK, I wasn't going to post this one, but after due consideration, it is less raunchy than some of the other "classics" on this thread.

There was this very gorgeous and shapely young lady who worked at the local General Store, an old time one with shelves to the ceiling and a ladder running along the wall. Seems word got out that in the summer, when it was hot, she would do without undergarments under her skirts.

One summer day, three young guys who had heard about her lack of dress stopped in the store. She asked the first one what he wanted. The guy looked around and spied raisin bread on the top shelf. So that's what he asked for. Up the ladder she went, and sure enough they all got a good eyeful. She came down the ladder, unaware of the show she had just given, and rang up the purchase.

About this time an old geezer walked into the store and he stood with the boys waiting his turn. The young lady asked the second guy what he wanted, and he dutifully pointed to the top shelf and said raisin bread. Up the ladder she went, and all four of the men - young and old - got a good eyeful.

Down she came, rang up the tab, and turned to the third young man. He hemmed and hawed, and finally blurted out "Raisin bread!". Up the ladder she went, with everything on display, when she turned and asked the old man - "Is yours raisin too?"

Naw, he replied, but it's twitchin' a mite!

"I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do this to others and I require the same from them"
