There’s this joke wherein this businessman
Sees a very sexy lass.
He approaches her and clears his throat,
Then, with total lack of class,
He asks if she will sleep with him
For a million dollars cash.
She answers that , of course, she would,
And she doesn’t bat a lash.
So then the guy just nods his head
And, hoping for some luck,
Asks if she will sleep with him
For just a lousy buck.
The girl, in indignation, snaps,
“Do you think that I’m a whore?”
He says, “That’s already been established,
It’s the price we need explore.”
Now I asked a country’s leader
If he’d send his troops to war,
If another hostile nation
Sent their troops upon his shore.
“Of course,” the leader answers,
“We would kill in self defense,
Because ignoring an invasion
Doesn’t make a bit of sense.”
So then I asked him his approach,
Asked him what he’d choose to do,
If another foreign country
Didn’t share his point of view.
Would he send in troops to bully them?
Would he bomb and kill and maim
And cause untold civilians
To die in freedom’s name?
“Of course not,” was the answer,
“Do you think that we love war?”
I said, “That’s already been established.
It’s the price we need explore.”
