A Dog's Life

(Sent to me by a friend)

My dog has a great life:

• He sleeps about 20 hours a day and has his food prepared for him.

• He can eat whenever he wants.

• His meals are provided at no cost to him.

• He visits the doctor once a year for his check-up, and again during the year if any medical needs arise. For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.

• He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep.

• He makes no contribution to the running or maintenance of the house.

• If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.

• He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep. He receives these accommodations absolutely free.

• He is living like a King, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever.

• All of his costs are picked up by others who go out, work hard, and earn a living every day.

I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head...I think my dog might be in Congress!
