Now that The US Government is closed, here's what I really think.

in humor •  7 years ago 

Now that the government is shut down.

I can speak freely, but quietly.

Not that anyone is listening.

After all, we all know that FBI stands for,

"For Better Information"

and the NSA stands for,

"No Silencing Allowed"

Had anyone actually asked me?

I would have voted, "Yes, indeed... ", "Shut it down."

Might I inquire, Is there going to be another vote to open it back up again?

Or can we just vote to leave it shutdown?

Where does one vote?

Also, what do you get if you vote?

... like a free Wendy's hamburger, or something?

I sell my vote for 20 bucks every year.. come at me government.

I could not put it better haha!

Similar to Tom Holt indeed which is awesome!

Thanks, here's an upvote for you (i wish it were worth more...). I really have to read that Tom Holt, any recommendations?

By the second time I read this I had the vague sense that I was reading a Tom Holt passage, I even got the little fairytale narrator voice with a tinge of sarcasm in my head.

Very nice writing , and I think this could be expanded into a short maybe. At first I felt the FBI and NSA was there for no reason but on second read it ties in with the no one is listening in my opinion.

Tom Holt, I'll have to give him a read. I aim for comic-strip short satire, sarcasm, and mostly humor. Sometimes political, sometimes not. Sometimes I hit, and sometimes not. I'm fairly new, and honing my craft. Please give (what is think is) my funniest post, a read: https://steemit.com/funny/@sanitizemylife/memos-released-and-help-wanted-gallows-builders-and-noose-loopers, and let me know what you think. I had a blast writing it. Here's my second funniest: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@sanitizemylife/introductions-got-a-minute-hi-it-s-me-over-here-i-just-wanted-to-introduce-myself Let me know what you think???

so true!

I love it, and was thinking about this last night. When they closed down in 2013 did anything change? not much, sure some parks were not looked after the same, sure some people had to wait for back pay, but and a big but, did the world stop due to government stopping, erm nope, nice work, do you want some help to get some giphs and images into your work, for some visual impact? respect from me. peace and love brother.

Thanks for taking the time. would love graphics. the more the merrier. Just point me in the right direction.

https://giphy.com do loads, just input what sort you want, be it orb, monkey etc, and voila, just be sure to put in the article, that you got them courtesy of giphy.com :-)

You got it! thanks so much for reading. def going to use those images, and will be sure to mention courtesy of giphy.com. Thanks. Love your stuff. I followed you and entered your contest. One of my funniest political posts. If you care to read it - for fun. I know you can't vote. I was actually laughing so hard when i wrote it - usually for me, that means it might be good.

All good fun, I will read, hang in there, and any time you need some help on here, feel free to give me a shout, no problem.

Its like taking the training wheels off and realizing that you were an idiot for ever feeling like you needed them

yes indeed. thanks so much for taking the time to read. think you'd love my other post - https://steemit.com/funny/@sanitizemylife/memos-released-and-help-wanted-gallows-builders-and-noose-loopers - pretty short and pretty darn funny, but I might be biased (I was, cracking up as I wrote it)

Thank you for posting

Thanks so much for reading.

Nice one
