One day, all of the parts of the body got together to decide who should be the Boss.
The Brain said, "I should be the Boss, because I am the smartest."
The Eyes said, "We should be Boss, because we tell the body where it is going, and where it has been."
The Heart said, "I pump the life-giving blood throughout the body; I should be Boss."
The Stomach said, "I digest the food for the body, and only when I am happy can the body be content. Therefore I should be the Boss."
The Legs said, " We carry the body around, and take it where it needs to go; we will rule together as Co-Bosses."
Then the Asshole spoke up and said, "I wanna be the Boss."
And they all laughed, and made fun of the Asshole. The very idea was ludicrous! They gave up their debate, and went off to have beers together, slapping each other on the back, still giggling and snickering at the silly Asshole.
This made the Asshole very upset, so he clenched up tight, shutting off the outside world completely.
The Brain couldn't think straight, and the Eyes became blurry and bloodshot. The Heart had palpitations and the Stomach just rumbled and grumbled, while the Legs went all wobbly and kept losing direction. The Asshole kept up this selfish behavior for several days, until the parts of the body could no longer laugh at him, but had to give in to his demands. So they made him the Boss.
Which just goes to show:
Only an Asshole is truly qualified to be the Boss.
