A MAN LYING

  

   A man lying on a bed scratched his head, scratched his penis and said:

   -A pubic louse and a head louse run for president…

   The woman that scratched herself beside the man remained silent and he asked her:

   -Will you vote for the pubic louse or for the head louse?

   And then the woman got up and answered:

   -I am not going to vote…

   The man lying stayed silent and she continued:

   -I am going to leave you scratching yourself alone here and I am going to look for a doctor for a treatment against those parasites.
