Funny? Maybe. Truthful? Sadly, Yes

Two down on their luck unemployed friends see a sign in a store window that says Be a well off Republican for only 5.00. One of the friends has 10.00 left to his name and says "I'll go in and try this. If it works I'll give you the other 5.00" 30 minutes later the man walks out looking good in a new suit wearing an elephant lapel pin. His friend says "Wow!! Looks like it really works. Can I have the 5.00 now?" His new republican friend says "**** you, get a job you filthy bum"
