A Little Levity
Once upon a time, a Sultan was blessed with the birth of a son after
years of hoping. The boy immediately became the apple of his father's
eye.
Just before his son's sixth birthday, the Sultan said to him, "Son, I
love you very much. Your birthday is coming soon. What would you like?"
His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to have my own airplane." His
father bought him American Airlines.
Just before his son's seventh birthday, the Sultan said, "Son, you are
my pride and joy. Ask what you want for your birthday. Whatever it is,
it's yours." His son replied, "Daddy, I would like a boat." His father bought him
the Princess Cruise Line.
Just before his son's eighth birthday, the Sultan said, "Son, you bring
so much happiness into my life. Anything you want, I shall get for
you." His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to be able to watch cartoons."
His father bought him Disney Studios.
Just before his son's ninth birthday, the Sultan said, "Son, you are my
life. Your birthday is coming soon. Ask what you wish. I will get it for
you." His son, who had grown to love Disney, replied, "Daddy, I would
like a Mickey Mouse outfit and a Goofy outfit."
His father bought him the Democratic Party and CBS News.

Hey, I know some people don't care for Disney, but comparing their characters to the Democratic Party and CBS News? Ouch!
(FWIW, eons ago I much preferred Warner Brothers characters to anything Disney had to offer. Today I wouldn't know, being a non-tv and -movie person.)
