A Good Fishing Story.....

 

 

NOW I understand. .. . .

 

The king wanted to  go fishing, and he asked the royal weather

forecaster the forecast for the next few hours.  The palace

meteorologist assured him that there was no chance of rain.

 

So the king and the queen went fishing.  On the way he met a man

with a fishing pole riding on a donkey, and he asked the man

if the fish were biting.

 

The fisherman said, "Your Majesty, you should return to

the palace!  In just a short time I expect a huge rain storm."

 

The king replied: "I hold the palace meteorologist in high

regard.  He is an educated and experienced professional.

Besides, I pay him very high wages.  He gave me a very

different forecast. I trust him."

 

So the king continued on his way. However, in a short

time a torrential rain fell from the sky.  The King and Queen

were totally soaked.

 

Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave the order

to fire the meteorologist.  Then he summoned the fisherman

and offered him the prestigious position of royal forecaster.

 

The fisherman said, "Your Majesty, I do not know anything

about forecasting.  I obtain my information from my donkey.  If

I see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that...

it will rain."

 

So the king hired the donkey.

 

And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in

influential positions of government. The practice is unbroken to this date.

 

Thus, the democrat party...symbol was born!
