One day a prominent politician was driving through the countryside in his Bentley when he saw a man eating the grass by the side of the road. Somewhat bemused, he told his driver to stop, got out of the car, and walked over to the man.
“Why are you eating grass?” he asked.
“I’m so poor, I can’t afford anything else,” replied the man.
“I’m sorry to hear that,” said the politician. “You must come back to my house with me.”
“But I have a wife and three kids,” said the man.
“That’s no problem,” insisted the politician. “We’ll pick them up on the way.”
When they were all in the car, the poor man turned to the politician.
“Thank you so much for inviting us all back to your house,” he said. “It’s incredibly kind of you.”
“Oh, I’m sure you’re going to love it,” replied the politician. “The grass comes up to your knees!”
