Civil Service

"Civil Service"

Researchers said Wednesday that birds
sleep with one eye open and half of their
brain awake. The only other living thing
known to do this is the Government Employee
in its natural daytime habitat.

One day a boy and his father were at the
dining room table working on the boy's
Social Studies homework, the chapter
about government. The boy turns to his
father and asks, "Dad, how many people
work in the U.S. government?"

The father replies without hesitating,
"Oh, about half of them."

A survey says that American workers work the
first three hours every day just to pay their taxes.
So that's why we can't get anything done in the
morning: We're all government workers!

Why is a government worker like a shotgun
with a broken firing pin? It won't work and
you can't fire it.

Do you know why a Civil Service never goes
to the window and checks the weather in the
morning? He'd have nothing to do in the afternoon.
