RichardPrebble

[For the non-Kiwis: Richard Prebble is a not-so-popular member of
parliament.]

A man on his way home from work comes to a dead halt behind a long line
of stationary cars on the Northern Motorway. He notices a police
officer walking back and forth among the cars, so he rolls down his
window and asks, "Officer, what's the hold up?"

The officer replies, "Richard Prebble is just so depressed about his
personal life - the thought of the entire Parliament being on his back
over Dover Samuels and the state of the ACT party - that he stopped
his car in the middle of the motorway and he's threatening to douse
himself in petrol and set himself on fire. He says Parliament hates him
and he doesn't have the money to back ACT and get in at the next
elections. We're taking up a collection for him".

"Oh, really? How much have you got so far?"

"About three hundred litres, but a lot of people are still siphoning."
