Natural Born

"Natural Born"*

*The following is a funny and true story shared
by KC Williams who teaches government at
Santa Fe High School.

In one of KC's classes, they were discussing
the qualifications to be president of the United
States. It was pretty simple, the candidate must
be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age.

However, one girl in the class immediately started
in on how unfair was the requirement to be a
natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was
this requirement prevented many capable
individuals from becoming president.

KC and the class were just taking it in and letting
her rant, but everyone's jaw hit the floor when
she wrapped up her argument by stating, "What
makes a natural born citizen any more qualified
to lead this country than one born by C-section?"

"Protection"*

*The drunk was floundering down the alley carrying
a box with holes on the side. He bumped into a
friend who asked, "What do you have in there, pal?"

"A mongoose."

"What for?"

"Well, you know how drunk I can get. When I get
drunk I see snakes, and I'm scared to death of
snakes. That's why I got this mongoose, for protection."

"But," the friend said, "you idiot! Those are imaginary snakes."

"That's okay," said the drunk, showing his friend
the interior of the box, "So is the mongoose."
