As he fills in the form, he comes to the question: ‘‘Are you circumcised?”

He turns to the receptionist, and points to the question: “Is this one necessary?”

Receptionist: “Circumcised men are ineligible, sir”.

“Why is that,” he asks?

Receptionist: “To be a genuine politician, you must be a complete prick.”
