When the body was first made, all the parts wanted
to be Boss. The Brain said, "I should be Boss
because I control all the body's responses and
functions."
The Feet said, "We should be Boss as we carry the
Brain about and get him to where he wants to go".
The Hands said, "We should be the Boss because we
do all the work and earn all the money."
And so it went on and on with the Heart, the
Lungs and the Eyes until finally the Asshole
spoke up.
All the parts laughed at the idea of the Asshole
being the Boss. So the Asshole went on strike,
blocked itself up and refused to work. Within a
short time the Eyes became crossed, the Hands
clenched, the Feet twitched, the Heart and
Lungs began to panic and the Brain fevered.
Eventually they all decided that the Asshole
should be the Boss, so the motion was passed.
All the other parts did all the work while
the Boss just sat and passed out the tulip!
The moral of the story? You don't need Brains
to be a Boss - any Asshole will do !!!
