THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS

[singing]
Tom: I fell in a vat of chocolate, I fell in a vat of chocolate ...

Dick: What'd you do when you fell into the chocolate?

All: Laly do dum lally do dum day.

Tom: Well, I fell in a vat of chocolate. I just fell in a vat of chocolate ...

[talking]
Dick: Wait a minute ... wait a minute ... you just said you fell in a vat of chocolate.

Tom: I know. I just fell right in this vat of chocolate.

Dick: I know, and I asked you a question. I said, "What did you do when you fell in the chocolate?"

Tom: Well ... I swam a lot. There's --- um --- there's this 30 foot vat and it was just full of chocolate.

Dick: 30 foot across?

Tom: No --- deep. 30 feet deep of chocolate, and I fell right into it.

Dick: Well, what happened? What did you do when you fell in?

Tom: I --- uh --- I even hate to think about it 'cuz it's too traumatic.

Dick: No, I'm serious.

Tom: A terrible experience.

Dick: What did you do --- what did you do to get out?

Tom: I was just --- um --- walking down by my house and there's this vat of chocolate ---

Dick: What did you do? First of all, there had to be a restraining rail on the vat of chocolate.

Tom: Well, I --- um --- used to kind of balance on that rail. I used to walk on that rail, and someone evidently put something slippery on that rail because I fell right in there.

Dick: Okay, then what happened, Tom? What did you do after you fell in there?

Tom: Well, I yelled "FIRE".

[Singing]
Tom: I yelled "FIRE," when I fell into the chocolate. I just yelled "FIRE," when I fell into the chocolate.

Dick: Tom, why did you yell "FIRE" when you fell into the chocolate?

All: Laly do dum lally do dum day.

[talking]
Tom: Well ---

Dick: Now, I want you to think about it. It must have been a very traumatic experience.

Tom: Oh, it's just a horrible experience. I had chocolate all over me and I was swimming around ---

Dick: Well, what possessed you to yell "FIRE" when you fell into this vat of liquid , chocolate? There was no fire. You were in the chocolate and you yelled. "FIRE". That's pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

Tom: It certainly is.

[Singing]
Tom: I just yelled "FIRE" when I fell into the chocolate ...

Dick: Tom, why did you yell "FIRE" when you fell into the chocolate?

Tom: Why I yelled "FIRE" because no one would have saved me if I yelled "CHOCOLATE"!!

All: Laly do dum lally do dum day.

I heard stories when I was young of a man falling into a Banbury mixer (mixes 300-400 lb batches of rubber) and being ground up into rubber/hamburger. I did production work on that machine for 6 months when I was 19 years old.

Okay sure that’s all true enough.

That’s not the same as your previous concerns about “gated communities” & “McMansions” though.

It’s the ultra-rich and elites you refer to in your most recent post who start the class envy against the people who have just made enough money to have something they deride as a “McMansion”.

They seek to burn the ladder out from under them.

I hate the font that they use for movie posters and DVD covers. It’s almost impossible to read.

Personally....I don't see it that way at all. I see...it's the Marxist's/Socialist's in Government..and in the MSM that push class envy...because they have an agenda based on their beliefs.

fwiw-

Envy is strongest among similar peers. If you get ahead it's your neighbors that envy it most, want to bring you down a notch or two, not the rich. The ultra-rich are involved in leftist politics for the purpose of envy deflection, not to keep newcomers out of the club. They use this appeasement strategy because they are greatly outnumbered. They want to keep their wealth and enjoy it without envy directed at them. Becoming a limousine liberal works. Warren Buffett is one of the richest men but the envy-driven left give him a pass, even though he uses every trick in the book to avoid paying taxes.

“it’s the Marxist’s/Socialist’s in Government..and in the MSM that push class envy...because they have an agenda based on their beliefs”

I don’t want to put that down brother - that is the majority view.

But many of us have come to the conclusion that it’s a false narrative.

The marxists/socialists in government & media are put there by big money. And they dance the tune for that big money.

One world government has been the dream of the ultra rich for many many years. From the times when they fought to get a central bank in the US, and before then, to today. It’s the only thing that’s left for them to do, is run the whole world. And now they are trying to acheiving it through the left/lib scam.

At the very top left/liberalism not about “beliefs”. Of course not, it doesn’t make ANY sense! That’s only for the idiot footsoldiers on the ground.
