Who's the Boss? | 谁是老大?

点击查看中英对照

The organs of the body were arguing over who should be in charge.

The brain said, "I should be boss because I control all thoughts."

The hands said, "I should be boss because I do nearly all the work."

The legs declared, "I should be boss because I carry the entire body's weight."

They continued, each boasting about their own importance.

Then the asshole spoke up, "I think I should be boss because..."

Before it could finish, the others burst out laughing. "You? The boss? You must be joking!"

Offended, the asshole shut tight. Soon, the body suffered terrible constipation, and the organs couldn't bear it.

"Alright, alright! You're the boss!" they conceded.

And so, the asshole became the boss of the body.

The moral of the story: You don't need brains to be a boss; you just need to be an asshole.
