This story was passed on to me at work.

                              The Boss

   When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be boss.
The brain said, "Since I control everything and do all the thinking,
I should be boss." The feet said, "Since I carry man where he wants
to go and get him in position to do what the brain wants, I should
be boss." The eyes said, "Since I must look out for all of you and
tell you all where danger lurks, I should be boss"

   And so it went with the heart, the ears, the lungs, and finally
the ass hole spoke up and demanded that he be made boss. All the
other parts laughed and laughed, astounded at the idea of an ass
hole being boss. The brain thought this idea of an ass hole being
boss was absurd and said so.

   The ass hole was so angry that he locked himself off and refused
to function. The brain became feverish, the eyes became crossed and
ached, the feet were too weak to walk, the hands hung limply at the
sides, the heart and lungs struggled to keep going. All the parts
pleaded with the brain to relant and let the ass hole be the boss
and so it happened. All the other parts did all the work and the ass
hole just bossed and passed out a lot of shit.

THE MORAAL ------ You don't have to be a brain to be boss.
                     Just An Ass Hole.
