Thinly Veiled Analogy

Russ and George ordered lunch at the local burger joint and sat down to eat together. Russ reached over and took a handful of George’s fries.

“Hey! Those are my fries,” said George.

“I’m taking these fries because they’re a side dish, a disputable part of the meal,” said Russ, “At least I’m not eating your burger.” Immediately finishing his sentence, Russ grabbed hold of George’s burger and took a bite.

“You can’t do that!” George protested.

“Yes I can. It’s a peacekeeping measure,” explained Russ.

“How is it peacekeeping?”

“If you don’t let me eat it, there won’t be peace.”
