Anthropomorphology of Congress

Subj: Anthropomorphology of Congress


The English language has some wonderfully

anthropomorphic collective nouns

for various groups of animals

We are all familiar with a Herd of cows, a Flock of chickens, a School of fish and a Gaggle of geese.

However, less widely known is a Pride of lions, aMurder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an Exaltation of doves and, presumably, because they look so wise, a Parliament of owls.

Now consider a gathering of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.

And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?

Believe it or not ....... a Congress!

I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of our present government led by a party by that name, which has ruled our country for most of the 64 years since the British left us in their hands!

1. Quote: And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?

2. COMMENT: Around the year 1944, the bulldog-faced Prime Minister of England, Winston Churchill, referred to Congressites of India, as a bunch of rogues, rascals, and racketeers.

3. The siblings of those Congressic Naked-Apes ( Naked-Baboons ) have not eschewed from similar alliterative-alignment, by being corrupt, crooked, and culprit. It is quite an act of baboonery.

4. To regurgitate a corny-expression:
Letter C in the name Congress, stands for corruption.
