Two alligators sat in the swamp near Washington, DC. The smaller one turned to the bigger one and said, "I can't understand how you can be so much bigger 'n me. We're the same age, we were the same size as kids. I just don't get it."

"Well," said the big 'gator, "what ya been eatin', Boy?"

"Politicians, same's you," replied the small 'gator.

"Hmm. Well, where ya catch 'em?"

"Down t'other side the swamp near the parking' lot, by the Capitol."

"Same here. Hmm. How ya catch 'em?"

"Well, I crawls up under one of 'em's Lexus and wait for 'em to unlock the car door. Then I jump out, grab 'em on the leg, shake the shit out'em, and eat 'em!"

"Ah!" says the big alligator, "I think I see yer problem. You ain't gettin' any real nourishment. See? By the time you done shaking' the shit out of a politician, there ain't nothing' left but an asshole and a briefcase!"
