A Day in the Life of a U.S. Congressman



The following funny story was related to me via email by TD.


An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand pulling a male buffalo with the other. He says to the waiter, 'Want coffee.'

The waiter says, 'Sure, Chief. Coming right up.’

He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee. The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp, turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of the animal to splatter everywhere and then just walks out.

The next morning the Indian returns. He has his shotgun in one hand, pulling another male buffalo with the other. He walks up to the counter and says to the waiter, 'Want coffee.'

The waiter says, 'Whoa, Tonto! We're still cleaning up your mess from yesterday. What was all that about, anyway?'

The Indian smiles and proudly says, 'Um. Training for position in United States Congress: Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull, and leave mess for others to clean up, disappear for rest of day.’

There is a great deal of truth in this modern day parable. It is time to clean the U.S. House of Representatives this November.
