All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide
who was in charge.

I should be in charge", said the brain, "because I run all the
body's systems, so without me nothing would happen".

"I should be in charge", said the blood, "because I circulate oxygen
all over, so without me you'd all waste away".

"I should be in charge", said the stomach, "because I process food
and give all of you energy".

"I should be in charge", said the rectum, "because I'm responsible
for waste removal".

All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him, so
in a huff, he shut down tight.

Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach
was bloated, and the blood was toxic.

Eventually the other organs gave in. They all agreed that the rectum
should be the boss.

The moral of the story?

You don't have to be smart or important to be in charge... just an
asshole.
