The Minister and The Fool

The Minister: I am a minister! Increase my pay!
The Fool: What? I don't quite get it. I am sorry, but my little intellect does not allow me to comprehend.

The Minister: It's fine. I am a servant to the public. I say again, 'I am a minister! Increase my pay!'
The Fool: Servants usually get little pay.

The Minister: I am a different kind of servant. The kind with high pay. Let me explain!
The Fool: I am glad you are willing to do so. Please, enlighten me.

The Minister: I gave up my lucrative job in the private sector to be your servant.
The Fool: Woah!!! That's nice. How lucrative is lucrative exactly?

The Minister: I worked half the amount and got paid five times more!
The Fool: I think I am not the fool around here anymore! And now you work double and get paid peanuts!

The Minister: It's fine. I am a servant to the public.
The Fool: Hmmm. What made you do it?

The Minister: I wanted to serve! To help improve the lives of a wider strata of society!
The Fool: Hey! I used that line in my interview. I failed it though. Darn.

The Minister: I have been doing a good job since my election. I deserve a pay rise!
The Fool: Again, I cannot comprehend. Why don't you stick to your old job?

The Minister: Well, ah. Never mind. I am already in this job. So now I need more money to continue.
The Fool: Why do you need more money to continue?

The Minister: If you don't pay me well, the private sector! They will poach me! I don't want to go back.
The Fool: Oh no!

The Minister: And corruption will be rampant! Talent will be lost! Hell will freeze and the earth will stop spinning!
The Fool: Sounds really bad. But you won't become corrupted right? I thought only the most righteous were chosen!

The Minister: You are very right. But I still need more money! I could have been making much more!
The Fool: Damn. I think I am really stupid. I cannot understand! I thought you wanted to serve!

The Minister: Yes I still want. I just want to serve with a pay that the private sector will pay me.
The Fool: Why don't you go back then?

The Minister: Insolent Fool! How dare you talk back?
The Fool: I am sorry! Really sorry! I thought you wanted to discuss...

The Minister: My job is my justification! There is nothing to discuss unless you want the country to fail!
The Fool: ...

The Minister: On Monday I will announce the details. Then we will debate about it.
The Fool: Shouldn't the debate come before the announcement?

The Minister: You won't understand what we, the leaders of the land have in mind.
The Fool: Yes. You are right, I don't

The Minister: Never mind. This session is over. You will see me on Monday on TV.
The Fool: ...

**Got it from somewhere.
