Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were.The first thing I thought after reading this was “John Murtha”…
The first man was an Engineer, the second man was an Accountant, the third man was a Chemist and the fourth man was a Government Employee.
To show off, the Engineer called his cat. “T-square, do your stuff!” T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle. Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.
But the Accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said “Spreadsheet, do your stuff!” Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies. Everyone agreed that was good.
But the Chemist said his cat could do even better. He called his cat and said “Measure, do your stuff!” Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop into the glass. Everyone agreed that was pretty darned good.
Then the three men turned to the Government Employee and said “What can your cat do?” The Government Employee called his cat and said “Coffee Break, do your stuff!” Coffee Break jumped to his feet and...
...ate the cookies,
...drank the milk,
...shit on the paper,
...screwed the other three cats,
...claimed he injured his back while doing so,
...filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions,
...put in for Worker's Compensation,
...and went home for the rest of the day on sick leave!

The Four Cats...

Hi, please consider the following:
ReplyDeleteEven if a man is a bit corrupt as a public official, if he is a veteran with two purple hearts, might he not be afforded a bit more respect (than to be the butt of a sophomoric joke) from a person who claims to be thankful for our vets?
In my book, John Murtha's behavior as a politician has been despicable, and fully deserving of the contempt of any patriotic American -- his military service and decorations notwithstanding. His service (or anyone else's) doesn't give him any right to behave traitorously without being called on it.
ReplyDeleteInteresting editing of the book if criticizing the Fiasco makes one a traitor.
ReplyDeleteIf that is what you are referring to.
OTOH If you hold Duke the Puke in the same scathing contempt you would be having an equal standard.
I loathe the Dukester, but will always cut him a little slack for his service.
Were criticisms of Slick willy's meddling overseas traitorous?
One example -- there are many -- of Jack Murtha's despicable behavior is his condemnation of the actions our soldiers took at Haditha. He condemned them before any investigation, much less conviction. In the end, the soldiers were exonerated -- Murtha slandered them without cause. He has never even apologized, and in fact still spouts such stuff and nonsense on a regular basis. His starting assumption seems to be that our soldiers are dishonorable and behave normally in a criminal fashion. I have no idea whether Jack Murtha actually believes what he says, but he clearly makes such statements in pursuit of what he believes are his own best interests.
ReplyDeleteDuke Cunningham is of the same ilk, so far as I'm concerned. His actions were just more clearly criminal under our laws -- but just like Jack Murtha, he was willing to subordinate the country's interests to his personal interests. Unlike my previous commenter, I cut him zero slack for his service. In fact, the fact that he served honorably and then behaved so awfully makes it all the worse to me.
