Two friends meet for a regular morning walk. One is an Arch Conservative, the other a Progressive Liberal. Though often heated, their discussions are always civil and respectful. Their friendship guarantees that.
On one particular morning, the Conservative launched into a tirade against one of his favorite targets: the Internal Revenue Service. Apparently, the IRS had sent out some $1.4 billion dollars in stimulus checks to 1.1 million dead people.
The Conservative was livid. Barely able to contain himself, he spluttered, “Typical government waste! It is absolutely inexcusable! Payments to 1.1 million dead people! What good could come from that?”
Never one to miss an opportunity, his Liberal friend smiled and said, “They could all vote.”
Touché.
