Honest definitions from work and life

  • Republic

    noun

    A government system in which you get to vote for representatives (instead of clowns like in democracy) who promise to act on your behalf but usually end up acting on their own behalf, while you spend the rest of the time wondering if they were just clowns in suits all along and if you are the bigger clown. Oh, you also get an actual president with this one!

    Son: "I finally voted. What next?"
    Dad: "Pay tax and weep!"
    Mom (glares at Dad): "Honey!"
    Dad: "What?"
    Mom: "You forgot the part where he should pretend it made any difference!"
    Son: "Hey, wait! I have seen this one before!"
