The Parable of the Fly Swatter

The President was standing on a street corner, holding a fly swatter and waving his arms in the air.

'Swish, swish' went the fly swatter he was waving wildly in the air.

A passerby asked, "Mr. President, what are you doing with that fly swatter?"

The President smiled, looked him straight in the eye, and said, "I'm keepng the terrorists with WMDs from attacking us." Swish, swish, swish went the fly swatter.

"But Mr. President," said the passerby, "I don't see any terrorists with WMDs."

"See," said the President, "how effective me and my fly swatter are!"
