A motorist, on his way home from work in Westminster came to a dead
halt in traffic and thought to himself, "Wow", this traffic seems worse than
usual.
After a short while, he noticed a Police Officer walking towards him,
between the lines of stopped cars. He rolled down his window and
asked, "Officer, what's the hold up?"
The Constable replied, "Tony Blair is depressed, so he has stopped his
car and is threatening to douse himself with petrol and set himself on
fire."
"He says no one believes his stories; about why we went to war in Iraq,
or that there is no pensions crisis, or the worsening economy, or that
constant adding of stealth taxes, or that his education reforms are going to do
any good, or that the health service is safe in his hands, or that
immigration is under control, or that he's not George Bush's lapdog, or that his
Party's proposed tax cuts won't help anyone except his wealthy friends, or that
his chairmanship of the European Community hasn't just led to more power
being surrendered to the French ........ So - we're taking up a collection
for him".
Thoughtfully, the man asks, "How much have you got so far?"
The Officer replies, "About forty gallons, but a lot of people are
still siphoning..."
