One day the different parts of the body were having an
argument to see which 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, 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. So 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'm 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 all
wobbly, the stomach was all queasy, the hands were all shaky,
the eyes were all watery, and the brain was all cloudy.
They all agreed that they couldn't take any more of this and
agreed to put the rectum in charge.
Today's lesson: You don't have to be the most important to be
in charge, just an a - - hole.
