Fun things

George Bernard Shaw was once in a party and a pretty young thing came to him and said, “Mr. Shaw we should get married for our child would be wonderful. She could inherit my looks and you wit….”

Bernard Shaw interrupted her and replied, “My dear, I’m afraid that with my luck he might and up with my looks and your wit and then where would he be!”

But that is another story and has nothing to do with politics. Anyway, another night Shaw was at a party and noticed an exceedingly stuck up debutant. He approached her and said, “Miss will you sleep with me if I gave a you a fiver?” (fiver = five pound note = $25 in 1930 say $250 in today’s false devalued money).

The debutant was outraged. She slapped Shaw and said, “What do think I am?”

So Shaw walked away and approached the same young lady about half an hour later and said, “Will you sleep with me if I gave you a hundred thousand quid?” (about $2,500,000 in today’s money.)

The debutant knew that the famous author could easily afford it. So she giggles and replied, “Of course Mr. Sahaw.”

Immediately Bernard Shaw asked again, “Will you sleep with me for a fiver?”

She slapped him a second and said, “What do think I am?”

Shaw simply replied, “We’ve already established what you are. We’re only haggling about the price!”

And unfortunately that’s true of ninety nine point nine nine percent of politicians. They are bloody whores the whole load of them. There may be a slight price difference between them that’s all.
