The Asshole
One day, the different parts of the body were having an argument
to see which one should be in charge.
The brain said, "I do all the thinking, so I'm the most
important and I should be in charge."
The eyes said, "I see everything and let the rest of you know
where we are at all times, so I'm the most important and I should be
in charge."
The hands said, "Without me, we wouldn't be able to pick
anything up or move anything. I'm the most important and I should be
in charge."
The stomach said, "I turn the food we eat into energy for the
rest of you. Without me, we'd starve, so I am the most important and I
should be in charge."
The legs said, "Without me, we wouldn't be able to move
anywhere, so I'm the most important and I should be in charge."
Then the rectum said, "I think I should be in charge." All the
rest of the parts said, "YOU?!? You don't do anything! You're not
important You can't be in charge."
So the rectum closed up.
After a few days, the legs were wobbly, the stomach was queasy,
the hands were shaky, the eyes were watery, and the brain was cloudy.
They all agreed that they couldn't take any more of this and agreed to
put the rectum in charge.
The moral of the story?
You don't have to be the most important to be in charge.
Just be an asshole.
