Being an election year, I thought this one was timely A guy meets and old buddy of his at a store that he hadn't seen in about fifteen years. He noticed that his friend had a ten year old son. The guy says to the kid, ""What do you want to be when you grow up, young man?"" ""I want to be President of the United States!"", the kid proudly says, ""I'm a Democrat, just like my dad!"" The guy says, ""That's pretty ambitious, young man. It take a lot of work to be President. To teach you the value of hard work, I want you to come over to my house this Saturday. If you mow my lawn, rake my leaves, and trim my hedges, I'm going to give you $50!"" ""Wow, 50 bucks! Cool, I can't wait!"", the kid says. ""Hold on, there's one condition"", the guy says. ""There's a homeless guy outside this store. After I pay you the $50, you have to come back here and give that money to the homeless man"" Looking perplexed, the kid says, ""Well mister, why doesn't the homeless guy just go to your house and do the yard work himelf?"" ""Congratulations!"", the guy says, ""You are now officially a Republican""
