Humorous Stories - Model Exposed in Explosive Scandal

"Wendy", a professional model quite well-known in the field, was strutting down the red-carpeted runway at Saturday's Annual Modeling Exhibition when a loud honk echoed over the loud speaker.

The honk was followed by a gush of wind that rushed over the audience and much of the crowd described Wendy's skirt splitting, then ballooning from her leg.

Political Ponderings - Why the Donkey & the Elephant?  

How the Donkey & the Elephant became unofficial political symbols of the Republican & Democrat parties.

The unofficial symbolic Democratic Donkey and Republican Elephant are rather odd choices for political symbols - but what does one do when the eagle has already been taken by a nation?

First off, obviously no one told the historic Republican party, "Guys.  Look.  There are NO elephants in America.  Except.....at the er...zoo."  

On the other hand, who wants to be a jack ass?

Andrew Jackson did and it's to his credit that the donkey became the fixed Democrat party symbol.  Being cited by many as a jack ass, 'Jack'son used the tag to his advantage, the political gimmick quickly catching on after cartoonist Thomas Nast's cartoon rendering in Harper's Weekly Magazine around 1870.

But the er...buck didn't stop there.  Nast hit a home run once more in Harper's Weekly Magazine four years later when he drew a donkey cloaked in the skin of a lion that was frightening away all of the other animals standing about, except an elephant which held the caption, "The Republican Vote".

Obviously, Nast was a Democrat....

As the elephant and the donkey have not yet become official symbols of the Democrat and Republican parties, might we kick about the following choices that we pulled from an old trunk?

Why the Snake may be a better choice than the Donkey or Elephant - The snake is sly, slithery, likes to crawl on its belly and doesn't beat around the bush.

Why the Fox may be a better choice than the Donkey or Elephant - The fox is also sly, cunning and a little lazy, especially in the heat.

Why the Crocodile may be a better choice than the Donkey or Elephant - The crocodile is capable of shedding tears, and has a tough hide which is worth a bundle.

Why the Chameleon may be a better choice than the Donkey or Elephant - The chameleon is capable of changing colors and spends most of its time buried in the soil.

Why the Monkey may be a better choice than the Donkey or Elephant - A monkey is smart enough to punch out a chad.

Why the chicken may be a better choice than the Donkey or Elephant - A chicken knows how to cackle, lay rotten eggs, crow and strut.  Oh.  And they know how to be a chicken, too.

Hopefully, one day, one party will adopt the dove as their party symbol.
