We May be Crazy….but!

The joke is on who?
A congressman gets a flat tire right in front of a mental institution only twenty feet away. The flat tire, as luck would have it, just so happened to be in the right rear which faced the institution where, an inmate quietly gazed out of an open second story window now was observing the congressman’s dilemma.
To change the flat tire the congressman opens his trunk of his car, pulls out a jack, tire iron and the spare tire then proceeds to jack up the car, then in haste removing the four lug nuts that hold the wheel on, placing them on the ground next to him. While removing the flat tire the congressman accidently kicks all the lug nuts into a near by storm drain he was unconsciously standing over, naturally he was panic stricken to hear the splashing of water as they hit bottom, “what the hell am I going to do now?” he shouted aloud, as he jumped to his feet, not realizing someone was watching.
Just then the mental institution inmate observing the situation politely answered the congressman’s question with a suggestion. “Excuse me sir, I can see you are in an untenable situation to say the least. Pardon my intrusion but I have a suggestion which will resolve your precarious situation. Ostensibly sir this is but a mere a suggestion however logical deduction would state, if one was to remove one lug nut from each of the three other wheels on the car such an action would result in obtaining a sufficient amount of fastening devices as to secure the wheel to the vehicle temporally until you arrive at the gas station only four blocks away.” Would you concur?
The congressman stood silent for a moment thinking about what the inmate told him, while thinking to himself “why am I listening to a guy in a nut house” but he soon realized the inmate advise was a good idea, so he thanked him first then out of curiosity asked him a question, “Hey man, that was pretty smart, so, what the heck are ya doing in there?”
The inmate paused for a moment, stood up, smiled a condescending smile then responded while staring at the congressman …..“I may be a crazy….but at least I’m not stupid!” and that goes for the rest of us, congressman, and congresswoman we may be crazy Americans but at least we are not stupid! We know just what is going on in congress and the senate, those radical socialists forcing environmental extremism, and the new world order on America, beware and be advised! Your ilk will be stopped, one way or another.
