Funny I thought parliament was a toilet

Dear Chris,

Parliament according to Dennis Pryor in his satirical
dictionary, "Political Pryorities: How to get on top of
Australian politics," is, "an expensive mockery
consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate,
bodies which spend their time in spiteful and absurdist
debate while the real decisions are made by Ministers,
public servants and pressure groups. The normally
nonsensical rituals of Parliament occasionally break into
moments of high drama when a government, a leader, a Minister
or members are caught lying, with fingers in the till or
stabbed in the back by their own party."
