Default Gov't at work

A friend of mine, Will, had a gov't surveyer plot out his farm last summer over some property tax disagreement.
As usual, the speed of the gov't just got the results back yesterday.
So here what happened,

The surveyer stops by Will's farm in eastern Minnesota and announces that he has some bad news. " I discovered that your farm isn't in Minnesota," he says, "it's actually in Wisconsin."
Will lets out a huge sigh of relief. "That's the best news I've heard in a long time," he says.
"I was just telling my wife this morning that I don't think I can take another Winter in Minnesota."

Stay safe, warm and remember, "Spring is right around the corner....IT'S JUST A REAL LONG BLOCK!!

Isn't "Government at work" an oxymoron?

haha!

Here's a joke related to the topic.

It's so cold outside, (how cold is it?) so cold that the government has their hand in their own pockets for a change. LOL

Seems like the government is a union that all workers have to belong to.

The real joke is on us, we continue to elect and pay these self serving P.O.S. with no real means of holding them accountable for their actions. Until there are some major changes in the election process and way information is made available to the voters our country is doomed to be led by a pack of self serving millionaires.

I think the information isn't hard to find but unfortunately the masses of urban Dem. voters aren't interested in facts/common sense. The left just leads them around by the nose with the promise of free money (my money-your money).

I don't think it has any more to do with mislead urban Dems, than it does with the stuffy cigar smoking brandy drinking good old boys clubs that dream up tax breaks for the rich republicans. It is time to stop pointing fingers back and forth and blaming one party or another and take responsibility overall for the weakening of the greatest Nation on the face of the earth in the name of personal gain. Enough is Enough.

All the great nations in history rose, flourished and fell - ruined by corruption and the wide disparity between the wealthy and the poor, sound familiar? Politics has always been a struggle for power and control, compromise and working together for the good of all isn't a part of politics, nor do I believe it is a part of human nature. We've battled each other since we first stood upright over food, land, mates, religion, ethnic differences you name it and humans have fought over it in order to control it.

WOW....I sure picked a bad title for this thread!!!!

It was a suppose to be funny.
Probably should of said it was a private surveyer but needed to think of a reason for the survey....so I chose the tax problem.

My thought was about the weather being cold....not that our gov't was broken.
It is but I was just trying to bring some humor to this crazy winter.

So Will decided to sell the farm.

So in preparation for selling his land, Will and his wife needed to rid thier farm of animals. So he and his wife went to every house in his town.

To the houses where the man is the boss, he gave a horse. To the houses where the woman is the boss, a chicken was given.

He got toward the end of the street and saw a couple outside gardening. "Who's the boss around here?" he asked.

"I am." said the man.

"I have a black horse and a brown horse," Will said, "which one would you like?"

The man thought for a minute and said, "The black one."

"No, no, no, get the brown one." the man's wife said.

"Here's your chicken." Will said.



Anyway, while Will was driving home on a rural road a state trooper pulled Will over and said: "Sir, do you realize your wife fell out of the car several miles back?"

To which Will replied: "Thank God, I thought I had gone deaf!"

Dont ya know the gov"t makes the weather,but more highly evolved than just seeding clouds.Its a highly classified endeaver,with so much disinformation sewn noone would recognise the truth if they saw it and most likly have.Sometimes reffered to as the magic cloud over the grassy knoll.
Dont take it wrongly many have just had enough of winter,but some of us still have humor.
Heck blame Al Gore he invented everything else
