Government & Citizen

Government : knock knock!

Citizen : did you just knocked?

Government : nope. I just made a sound as if I was knocking.

Citizen : uh ok. so, is there anything wrong?

Government : well, it depends.

Citizen : depends on what?

Government : depends on how much you've paid to me.

Citizen : I've paid my income tax. I always vote during election. well, I've PAID my dues.

Government : nah, I don't really care about that.

Citizen : so? don't you think it's inappropriate to knock on someone's door at this hour. 2 am if you haven't
noticed.

Government : remember, I didn't knocked. I made a sound. besides you opened the door. and last time I checked you've relinquished a part of your freedom.

Citizen : I did. so you will make sure that people don't knock on my door at 2 frickin am!

Government : well, I'm no people. I'm made of words and promises that stretch.

Citizen : still, it doesn't give you right to come intrude into my bedroom.

Government : dude, I define right. you just happen to believe I define it for your own good.

Citizen : so, why are you here again?

Government : oh nothing, boring discussions. another corruption case. I'm bored. So I want to know what you're doing. you know a little variation from daily routines.

Citizen : ok, that's it. I'm calling the cop.

Government : errr, did you forget that they worked for me.

Citizen : what? they're independent!

Government : nah, I want you to believe they are.

Citizen : then I'll sue. class action. we'll meet in supreme court.

Government : oooh, they're under my control as well. sorry dude, reality bites.

Citizen : grrr, I'm closing the door.

Government : oh, not so fast. are you sleeping alone?

Citizen : no. and that doesn't concern you.

Government : girlfriend?

Citizen : why does that even matter to you if I've been dating her for 3 years now?!

Government : so just "girlfriend"?

Citizen : yes! now scram!!

Government : well, sorry dude. I gotta let the cops arrest you.

Citizen : WHAT?!!! I'm doing nothing wrong.

Government : let me break it down for you. you're sleeping with illegitimate spouse, not even a spouse. it violates my law since you're doing adultery. and...

Citizen : I'm doing it in my own room! I didn't invite anyone or harm anyone with what I did. you don't even know her for God's sake.

Government : hey, I allow you to trust God, but it doesn't mean that you can use His Name like that. I can mobilize my religious anarchist group to make you learn the lesson. I can just tell them you're doing blasphemy. and to continue my sentence that you cut, you're doing an action, which I don't approve, in your room in my country's territory. so yes, you fall under my law.

Citizen : this is ridiculous!

Government : ah! another violation : slander! you're so busted dude.

Citizen : I'm innocent!!

Government : well, I don't care. enjoy your room, behind the bars.

Government : (oh my, I can't wait for tomorrow's headline. I'm a hero.)
