(With all due respect to the offices of President and Vice President, of course)

 

There once was a man named Obama
Who caused our whole country some drama
He just nodded and smiled; the people, meanwhile
Wondered why they'd elected Obama

There once was a fellow called Biden
Whose smile continued to widen
'Til it covered his face, oh what a disgrace!
And that is the tale of Joe Biden

The Parable of the Sick Man

A man who for many months had been suffering from an illness went one day to see a doctor. The doctor told him, "this is what you must do: return to your town, find your neighbor, and kill him. Then your disease will subside and you will be able to return to work."

The man returned to his home, found his neighbor, and killed him. Soon after, just as the doctor had predicted, his fever subsided and he was able to return to work.

I ask you: When was the man more ill, before or after visiting the doctor?
