Finally Brain and Pinky succeeded in taking over the world only Brain isn't the one in charge! There's an old story about the Brain and the Heart and how a difference of opinion at a national body board meeting resulted in quite the curve ball no one saw coming their way. Brain informed the Heart that seeing as how Brain basically ran everything and was easily considered the most important part of the Body, was was in charge. The Heart took great offense to this opinion stating that without the regular control rhythmic pulsating beats there would in fact be NO Body at all. They are argued and argued and Heart was beginning to skip a few beats, while Brain searched for adequate comebacks. Then from the back of the room a little voice asserted itself and the lungs, kidneys and liver stared in stunned surprise as the little asshole boldly declared that both Brain and the Heart were entirely wrong. It was indeed the asshole that was in charge of the body and should be referred to a commander in-chief. Brain and Heart frowned, gazed at each other and proceeded to laugh until tears ran from the eyes of the Body.
"Be Serious," admonished the Liver.
"Get out of here," scoffed the Brain impatiently and Heart merely continued to glare at the small but defiant asshole. Stomach squirmed knowingly, kidneys trembled silently, the bowels grumbled.
"You nothing but a useless waste disposal unit," Brain declared loftily, "you are required yes, but you will do as I command."
The asshole turned and shrunk back into the shadows, quietly and stubbornly the protest began, there was no violence, although by day three the stomach was cramping, the bowels growled and quivered with anticipation, nothing happened, The body feverish and sick, toxins rose and the brain began to hallucinate with visions of grandeur, truly the brain ruled this body and indeed Brain is king. The Heart labored and skipped beats, sending desperate cries of attention to Brain, come to your sense for pity sake, please call an immediate meeting.
Wearily and slowly the meeting came to order. Brain groggy and disorientated, allowed the Heart to chair the meeting. Heart didn't waste time.
"Mr. boss, Asshole sir, you are in deed the boss!"
With a loud cry of relief the Body sighed in relief as the bowels emptied themselves and balance and harmony returned to the Body.
The moral of the story is that it doesn't take a Brain or a Heart to be the Boss, just an Asshole and how well the world in 2020 is proving this exact point.
