“Who hath ears to hear, let him hear,” – Gospel of St. Mark Ch. 4: V. 9.
One afternoon an Irish politician was riding along in his chauffeur driven Ford Excursion, 14 Seater Stretched Limo, when he spotted two homeless men sitting on the roadside apparently eating grass. Having ordered his driver to stop, he got out of his vehicle to further investigate.
He addressed both men, “Why are you eating grass?”
“We don’t have any money for food”, the homeless men both replied in unison “We have to eat grass”.
“Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I’ll feed you”, the TD said. “But sir, we both have wives and a total of 12 children with us”, stated the homeless men, “You can see them over there, starving under those trees”.
“Bring them along also” the TD replied.
Having crammed 4 children into the vehicles trunk / boot, the other 12 homeless individuals climbed aboard the interior of the plush 14 seater.
Once under-way, one of the homeless men turned to the TD sitting up front with the driver and in expressing his gratitude stated, “Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you”.
The TD replied “Glad to do it. You’ll really love my place – I didn’t get a chance to cut the one acre of lawn to the rear of my home so far this year, and the unspoilt grass there is almost one foot high!”
Very funny
