Psych Test

If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.

As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water. After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result ... all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it. Now, put the cold water away.

Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one.

The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted. Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new one.

The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm, because he is now part of the "team". Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by the fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana. Why, you ask? Because in their minds...that is the way it has always been!

This, my friends, is how Congress operates...and this is why, from time to time:

ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME.

the way they operate is like this:

IF you are not looking for work, or you stopped applying for work, or you stop getting unemployment benefits, you are not part of the unemployment percentage looking for work...

You people need to learn, and fast how the govt works and the meanings in which they say their stupid shit...

They use words in certain meanings to sidestep reality and you all take to it like a fat guy with a bucket of chicken on football sunday...

All they have to do is say it a certain way ONCE and from then on its ok...

Like when John Kerry said no boots on the ground in a combative operation, well to the stupid people this means, no operations in a combat zone, WRONG!!! it means that the military can send in troops and have boots on the ground in many roles... they can even fight and not call it combative...

like if a pilot gets shot down, or a soldier gets shot or blah blah blah...

Its all in the words, like if you told your kid not to drive the car while you are gone and come back and ask if they drove the car and they say, NO I did not drive the car to wawa... That means they drove the car but not to wawa and technically they didn't lie to you because they didn't tell you the whole truth...
