Politics

During a neighborhood party here, I got into an argument with my neighbor, Van, about presidential politics. Finally, he asked me why I was such a dedicated Republican.

I told him that my father and grandfather were Republicans before me and that I was carrying on the family tradition.

"That's it ?" said my exasperated neighbor. "What if your father and grandfather had been horse thieves?"

"Well ...," I replied, "I suppose then I'd be a Democrat like you."
