Koohii Story 1 Every major political party, if personified, would look like a giant outhouse walking around with human legs spewing out a constant stream of bullshit.
Koohii Story 2 Every political party is full of shit. But nobody ever says how they get that way. Well, here´s your answer - a political party memer is in the outhouse, greedily chowing down on the contents inside. He´s grown so accustomed to the taste that he´s in all the way, and all you can see are his legs through the window. He´ll come inside later to the auditorium to make a speech and spew everything out.
