A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway. Nothing was moving.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the window.
The driver rolled down the window and asked, "What's going on?"

"Terrorists have kidnapped Congress! They are asking for a $10 million dollar
ransom or they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them
on fire. We are going from car to car, taking up a collection."

"How much is the average donation?" the driver asked.

"About a gallon."


**Disclaimer: this is neither a pro- nor an anti-party topic; as of this time, in the collection period, no politicians or their relatives, friends or pets have been harmed herewith.**
