According to a recent report from Britain's Office of National Statistics, there are 297,000 households in the country in which no adult has ever held any kind of job. The number of individuals who thus may never have developed the "habit of work," and who instead have grown accustomed to the country's generous welfare payments, might total 700,000. (In an example cited by the Daily Mail, one such couple in their late 30s, and their children, "earn" the equivalent of almost $1,100 per week in income support and disability payments.)

Fun with the younger crowd
"I recently asked my neighbors' little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be a President.
Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, 'If you were President, what would be the first thing you would do?'
She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people.' Her parents beamed with pride.
'Wow! What a worthy goal!' I told her, 'But you don't have to wait until you're a President to do that! You can come over to my house to mow the lawn, pull weeds, trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to where the homeless guy hangs out and you give give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.'
She thought that over for a few seconds then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, 'Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work and you can just pay him the $50?'
I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.'
Her parents still aren't speaking to me."

Oh,,the shame.....
Cute..got this from my brother....
MY DADDY IS A DANCER . .
.One day a fourth-grade
teacher asked the children what their fathers
did for a living......All the
typical answers came up - fireman, mechanic,
businessman, salesman..
. and so
forth. However, little Justin was
being uncharacteristically quiet, so when
the teacher prodded him about his father,
he replied, "My father ' s an exotic
dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his
clothes to music
in front of other men and they put money in
his underwear. Sometimes, if the
offer is really good, he will go home with some
guy and stay with him all night for
money. “The teacher,
obviously shaken by
this statement, hurriedly set the other
children to work on some exercises and took little
Justin aside to ask him, "Is that
really true about your
father? “No," the boy
said, "He works
for the Democratic
National Committee and helped to get Obama
elected, but it ' s too embarrassing to say that
in front of the other kids."
