So I was digging through some old boxes in the attic last night and found some old CDs... I know, what is this outdated, archaic technology from years gone? Anyway, I found an old Jeff Foxworthy album that I hadn't heard in probably 15 years and it explained our leadership in this country perfectly... I though I'd share and inspire some colorful conversation and thought.
The joke that got me thinking "Holy shit! This is our current leadership- both POTUS and Congress!" was as follows (can't recall exactly from memory, but I'll paraphrase so you get the gist):
"So I got behind on my payments and one day a man from the bank showed up at my door. "Mr. Foxworthy, I'm from the bank, and unless you can pay me $500 I'm gonna have to repossess your Camaro."
"$500!? Who the hell keeps that kinda cash lying around?"
"You can't write me a check?"
"No I can't wr- wait, a check? Hell yes I can write you a check! I'll pay the whole thing off right now! I'm gonna be a congressman when I grow up!""
And there it is... writing checks that the country can't cash. This is the day in age we're living in now... [facepalm]
