N. Grigsby had the following written on his tomb stone:
“Through this inscription I wish to enter my dying protest against what is called the Democratic party. I have watched it closely since the days of Jackson and know that all the misfortunes of our nation has come to it through this so called party; therefore beware of this party of treason.”
Realization . . .
My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.
He has his food prepared for him.
He can eat whenever he wants, 24/7/365.
His meals are provided at no cost to him.
He visits the Dr. once a year for his checkup, 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.
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 and earn a living every day.
I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head,
my dog is a democrat (but I LOVE him anyway).A dogs

Dave and his wife Carol went to the state fair every year,
And every year Dave would say,
‘Carol, I’d like to ride in that helicopter.’
Carol always replied,
‘I know Dave, but that helicopter ride is fi fty dollars,
And fifty dollars is fifty dollars’
One year Carol and Dave went to the fair, and Morris said,
Carol, I’m 85 years old.
If I don’t ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance.’
To this, Carol replied,
‘Dave that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.’
The pilot overheard the couple and said,
‘Folks I’ll make you a deal. I’ll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and don’t say a word I won’t charge you a penny!
But if you say one word it’s fifty dollars.’
Dave and Carol agreed and up they went.
The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard.
He did his daredevil tricks over and over again,
But still not a word.
When they landed, the pilot turned to Dave and said,
‘By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn’t.
I’m impressed!’
Dave replied,
‘Well, to tell you the truth,
I almost said something when Carol fell out,
But you know,
fifty dollars is fifty dollars!’
