A little off topic, but that reminded me of one of my favourite political jokes from the '70s.
An American scientist, a Russian scientist, and a Canadian scientist are sitting around bragging about their accomplishments.
The American scientist says, "we used just the skeleton of a man, build all new components around him, and now he's a fully functioning man, and he's out looking for a job."
The Russian scientist says, "That's nothing! We took just one amputated finger from a man, built a completely new body from that one starting point, and now he's a fully functioning man and he's out looking for a job."
The Canadian scientist says, "Oh, you amateurs! We took just an asshole of a man, made him Prime Minister, and now everybody's out looking for a job!"
“Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.”
