) friends, hope no one takes ofence at this...

 

There is an old story, which, as such stories do, explains a lot of

things, including this. It is about the day the asshole became the

boss of the body.

The heart and the mind were having an argument over which was

superior, and should be running the whole organism. The mind, of

course,had many carefully reasoned arguments, and the heart was full

of passion and conviction. Finally the asshole got tired of the

endless discussion, and declared that it was going to resolve the

question once and for all. The heart and mind were amazed and a bit

contemptuous, and wanted to know what resolution the asshole had in

mind. The asshole claimed that it was the boss, and that was an end

to it. Naturally, the heart and mind argued and disagreed, and

wanted to know how the asshole thought that it was so important as

to be the boss. The asshole said it would demonstrate its power, and

it quit working. To make the story short, after three days the heart

and mind were begging the asshole to get back to work, and were

willing to admit that it was the boss, and they wouldn't argue about

it any further.
