Why Do They Do That?

When an Engineer, an Accountant, a Chemist, and a Senator were bragging about how smart their cats were, the Engineer called his cat, "T-square, do your stuff." T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle. Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.

But the Accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, "Spreadsheet, do your stuff." Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies. Everyone agreed that was good. But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, "Measure, do your stuff." Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop into the glass. Everyone agreed that was pretty good.

Then the three men turned to the Senator and said, "What can your cat do?" The Senator called his cat and said, "Legislator, do your stuff." Legislator jumped to his feet, ate the cookies, drank the milk, shat on the paper, screwed the other three cats, and claimed extra allowance for doing so. AND THAT, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IS WHY EVERYONE WANTS TO BE A LEGISLATOR!
