Who’s The Boss?
(From The Woodsman’s Notebook)

The body was having an argument one day of who is the boss. The brain was telling the rest of the body that it was the boss, after all without the brains ability to think and reason, the rest of the body wouldn’t have a clue on what to do. The body would just go on aimless without the knowledge of what to do.

The eyes ears and mouth said “No we are the boss,” without us there would be no sight or sound and it wouldn’t matter because the brain wouldn’t know what to think and the rest of the body wouldn’t know what to do, so there fore the body would only exist in a dark soundless state of confusion and without a voice the body couldn’t communicate with other bodies or brains. Without the mouth the body wouldn’t be able to have food or nourishment to sustain life.

The arms and hands put in their two cents by saying “No we are the boss,” without us no physical work would be done to earn a wage to buy the food or build shelters to protect the body from the elements. The legs and feet said this conversation was ridiculous. Without legs and feet the body couldn’t get around so all else really didn’t matter.

The whole time the asshole sat quiet and didn’t mutter a word. The brain spoke up and asked the asshole who was right, not that it mattered at all what the asshole thought after all the brain knew it all. 
After the long argument the asshole got sick of the bickering and arguing and tired of listening to the squabble. Then the asshole spoke up. I am going to say this only once so the rest of you had better listen carefully. I am the boss, now the end of this discussion is now!

The brain and body laughed hysterically. The brain said “what do you know you’re just an asshole and the rest of the body laughed and agreed yea you’re just an asshole, what do you know?

Well after three days without relief the body started shaking. After three weeks the brain couldn’t function and the body couldn’t move it just laid there in pain from being blocked up. Finally the brain gave in then the rest of the body followed suite saying “we give we give you’re the boss, you’re the boss…

Now the moral to this story is… Now you can understand why there are so many assholes for bosses.
