This was sent to me by a friend who is also a judge.

"Say you are an older senior citizen and can no longer take care of yourself and the government says there is no Nursing Home care available for you. So, what do you do? You opt for "Medicare Plan G".

The plan gives anyone 75 or older a gun (Plan G) and one bullet. You are allowed to shoot one worthless politician. This means you will be sent to prison for the rest of your life where you will receive three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating and air conditioning, cable TV, a library, and all the Health Care you need. Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That's great. Need a hearing aid, new hip, knees, kidney, lungs, sex change, or heart? They are all covered!

As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you at least as often as they do now! And, who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you they can't afford for you to go into a nursing home. And you will get rid of a useless politician while you are at it. And now, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any more income taxes!

Is this a great country or what? Now that I've solved your senior financial plan, enjoy the rest of your week."

The hardest question, for me at least, would be how to choose the politician....... Whistling

Rolling on the floor laughing ... but - maybe we shouldn't laugh too hard, could come to something like that Blinking . More likely than getting to shoot a politician and go to prison, though, they'll probably just push us out on an ice floe or feed us to the sharks (depending on where you live). Shrug!

I surely won't be on an ice flow, Sandy. I guess they could deposit us into a meat cooler though. We could cool our heels there until our "storage time" elapsed. I have given sharks plenty of opportunity to gobble me up, and my body was far more nourishing then. They did not seem to have a taste for me. Another story.

A lot of truth in that, Sandy, whether gardeners or not. Whistling
