A job is like a politician struggling in the water. Be sure you hold it down.
I shot a cactus like a politician. But I didn’t care, because I didn’t vote for it.
Sometimes I kick my cat. But I’m asleep, and he sleeps at the foot of my bed. It’s not like I kick it intentionally, like it was a politician.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that’s the best place to hang a noose. More politicians need to be sticking their necks out for us.
My life story is 75% true. But which quarter is a lie? Better check my pants pockets—the one the politician’s wearing.
Joe is 3/4ths of a joke. 75% of politicians are jokes too, only the punchlines are the voters, and that kind of humor I just don’t find funny.
