A list of puns related to "Representative Government"
A man is out walking one day when he finds some copper and zinc, knowing these are used to make coins he takes them to the government to see what he can get.
There he sits down with a representative of the US mint and says I have here half a grain of copper and 30 grains of zinc, how many coins will that make?
The representative says to the man a single cent is one grain of copper and nearly 40 grains of zinc.
The man says excellent, then you take my half grain of copper and 30 grains of zinc and we shall split the money between us!
The representative looks at the man and then looks at his materials and says:
This doesn't make any cents!
