Who wants free ice cream?

The Presidential election was heating up, and some grade school children were showing an interest.

The teacher decided that having an election for a class president would be a good civics lesson.

The students would choose the nominees.

The nominees would make campaign speeches, and the class then would vote.

There were many nominations.

Donnie and Joey were picked as finalists.

The day arrived for them to make their speeches.

Donnie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make the class a better place, and promised to do his very best. Everyone applauded.

Then Joey spoke. He said, "If you will vote for me, I will give everybody ice cream."

The class went wild, screaming, "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream!"

An intense discussion followed. How did Joey plan to pay for the ice cream?

Joey didn't know.

Would Joey's parents buy it, or would the class pay for it?

Joey didn't know.

The class really didn't care. They just wanted ice cream.

Donnie was forgotten.

Joey won by a landslide.

Sometimes, elections are like that.
