“The aliens demand 500 humans for horrific scientific tests,” said General Hammerblow.
“No!” grated President Handy.
“Billions may die if they invade.”
“Every Human life is precious!”
“What about Congress?” said Hammerblow.
“Right! There’s 535 congressmen,” crowed Handy.
“Yeah?”
“Signal the aliens. We’ll send 535!”

😀 A snort is as good as a wink. Perhaps we shouldn’t send the whole lot. Not all politicians are a waste. We’ll keep the honest ones…both of them.

Oh yes!!! LMAO! This made me laugh right out loud. Actually I think we should send the extra 35 as an added extra bonus. 🙂

Hehe. We’d definitely be better off if we sent them away. The aliens not invading is a nice side-effect too. 😉 Sending the extra 35 would be a nice gesture of good faith. I agree with you. We should be nice to our guests. 😉 Glad you got a laugh. Thanks so much!

How long would it be before anyone noticed they were gone?

Hehe. It may take a few years. Eventually, people would catch on when they realized their government was no longer deadlocked, could establish a budget on time, and was getting useful things done. 😉

Oh we have a few senators they can have…Jacquie Lambie, her former boss Clive Palmer, Penny Wong, Stephen Conroy, Kate Lundy, Adam Brandt, Sarah Hanson-Young, Lee Rhiannon, Christine Milne, Peter Whish-Wilson to name a few. I love your way of thinking, Eric! This gave me a late night chuckle. I shall sleep happy tonight 😀

Uh huh. That list is pretty long, and I’ll bet it’s only that short because you got tired of writing their names. It’s the same everywhere. Politicians are largely the same no matter what their country. We could happily throw your Senators in. Perhaps Alistair over in the UK would donate a few MPs.
Glad you had a chuckle to go to bed with. Perhaps you could count Senators boarding the shuttle to leave Earth. It might give you happy dreams. Thanks so much, Lyn!

I liked asking “What do we have to lose?” and the answer is “Our current Congress.”
Thanks for that perspective!
Also, love giving them to the aliens.
Found you on Yeah,Writes. Giving you a vote.
Best to you,

Yep. Congress is the “least” we could give to save humanity. We just have to hope the aliens don’t realize they’re getting a bum deal. 😉 Thanks very much for the comments and the vote. I appreciate it! 🙂
