The U.S Government isn't as complicated as many would perceive but many international travelers are very interested in the U.S. Government. The best way we can explain it is like this:

Once upon a time some pilgrims found a vast space of land with a bountiful garden in it.  They were concerned that someone would steal from the garden at night so they decided to form a Congress, created a night watchman position, and hired a person for the job. 

Then Congress said, “How does the watchman do his job without instruction?”  So, they created a planning department and hired two people; one to write the instructions and one to do time studies.

Then Congress said, “How will we know if the watchman is doing his tasks correctly?”  So, they created a quality control department and hired two more people; one to study and evaluate the quality of work and another to tell the watchman he was doing everything wrong.

Then Congress said, “How are all of these people going to get paid?”  So, they created an administrative section and hired three people; an administrative official, an assistant, and a legal secretary. 

Then Congress said, “We’ve had this in operation for one year now and are $18,000 over budget.  We must cut back our costs!”  So, they laid off the night watchman.

True as we can tell it, that's how it works!

We meet all sorts of people on our Grand Canyon tours. We are always happy to help our guests and some of our guides become very good friends with our customers.  Once, one of our guides named Katie felt really bad for a guy who had missed his plane out of town.  The next available flight was in two days and all of the hotels were booked or charging outrageous prices that he could not afford.  He called us to see if we had any advice and wouldn’t you know that big-hearted Katie offered to let him stay at her house!  She tells the guy that she has a dinner-date with friends and would be back very late that night. 

When she arrives back home she sees the guy sitting in the front room.  She approaches him and tells the guy to remove her dress.  So, the guy removes her dress.  She then asks the guy to remove her bra so he does that too.  She then asks him to remove her underwear and he does this also.  Katie then tells the guy to never dress in her clothes again.
