    A Father Daughter Talk

    A young woman was about to finish her first year of

    college. Like so many others her age she considered

    herself to be a very liberal Democrat and was for

    distribution of all wealth. She felt deeply ashamed

    that her father was a rather staunch Republican which

    she expressed openly.

    One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs

    and his opposition to higher taxes on the rich & more

    welfare programs. In the middle of her heart felt

    diatribe based upon the lectures she had from her far

    left professors at her school, he stopped her and

    asked her point blank, how she was doing in school.

    She answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA,

    and let him know that it was tough to maintain. That

    she had to study all the time, never had time to go

    out and party like other people she knew. She didn’t

    even have time for a boyfriend and didn’t really have

    many college friends because of spending all her time

    studying. That she was taking a more difficult

    curriculum.

    Her father listened and then asked, “How is your

    friend Mary.”

    She replied, “Mary is barely getting by”, she

    continued, “all she has is barely a 2.0 GPA” adding,

    “and all she takes are easy classes and she never

    studies.” But to explain further she continued

    emotionally, “But Mary is so very popular on campus,

    college for her is a blast, she goes to all the

    parties all the time and very often doesn’t even show

    up for classes because she is too hung over.”

    Her father then asked his daughter, “Why don’t you go

    to the Dean’s office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off

    your 4.0 GPA and give it to her friend who only had a

    2.0.” He continued, “That way you will both have a

    3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair equal

    distribution of GPA.”

    The daughter visibly shocked by the fathers suggestion

    angrily fired back, “That wouldn’t be fair! I worked

    really hard for mine, I did without and Mary has done

    little or nothing, she played while I worked real

    hard!”

    The father slowly smiled and said, “Welcome to the

    Republican Party.”

    Hey TipUpsOnly, You’re right about it not really relating to life….in “real life” she would’ve had to give a point to Mary and Dick and Harry and on and on and on…..
