My son recently claimed I have a double standard, because I laugh at Republican jokes, but not at Democrat jokes. I explained to him that I will laugh at the funny ones, but they are rare, because of an inherent difference between Republican and Democratic humor. Perhaps an example can best explain it.
A teacher was explaining the two party system to her students, and little Tommy raised his hand to say he plans to be a Democrat.
"Why is that?" asked the teacher.
"Well," he replied, "My father was a Democrat , and my grandfather was a Democrat, and my great grandfather was a Democrat."
Wanting the child to think for himself, she prodded: "What if your father, and your grandfather, and your great grandfather had all been thieves?"
Quickly Tommy responded, "Then I'd be a Republican."
