One afternoon, a compassionate conservative was riding in the back of
his limousine when he saw two men eating grass by the road side. He
ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate. "Why are you
eating grass?" he asked one man.

"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "Oh, come along
with me then," instructed the conservative. "But, sir, I have a wife
and two children!"

"Bring them along!" replied the wealthy one. He turned to the other man and
said, "Come with us."

"But sir, I have a wife and six children!" the second man answered.

"Bring them as well!" answered his compassionateness as he headed for
his limo.

They all climbed into the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as
large as the limo. Once underway, one of the poor fellows said, "Sir, you
are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."

The Compassionate One replied, "No problem. I fired my gardener 3 weeks ago
and the grass at my home is almost a foot tall."
