A couple was dressed and ready to go out for the evening.
They turned on a night light, turned on the phone answering machine,
covered their pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard. They phoned the
local cab company and requested a taxi.
The taxi arrived and the couple opened
the front door to leave their house. The cat they had put out into the yard
scooted back into the house. They didn't want the cat shut in the house
because she always tried to eat the bird.
The wife got into the taxi while
the husband went back inside to get the cat. The cat runs upstairs,
the man in hot pursuit.
Waiting in the cab, the wife didn't want the driver to know
the house would be empty for the night. She explained to the taxi driver
that her husband would be out soon. "He's just going upstairs to say good-bye
to my mother."
A few minutes later, the husband got into the cab. "Sorry I
took so long, "he said as they drove away.. "Stupid bitch was hiding under
the bed. I had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She
tried to take off so I grabbed her by the neck. Then I had to wrap her in a
blanket to keep her from scratching me. But it worked. I hauled her fat
ass downstairs and threw her out into the back yard!"
The cab driver hit a parked car...
I tell you it's no use arguing with a communist. It's no good trying to convert a communist or persuade him.You can only deal with him on the following basis...you can only do it by having superior force on your side on the matter in question --and they must also be convinced that you will use --- you will not hesitate to use -- those forces , if necessary, in the most ruthless manner. You have not only to convince a communist government that you have a superior force -- that they are confronted by superior force--but that you are not restrained by any moral consideration, if the case arose , from using that force with complete material ruthlessness. And that is the greatest chance of peace, the surest road to peace.
SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL- March 25, 1949.
