we're learning about napoleon right now and the french Revolution. i need to make up a political joke there was an example: a drawing of a woman with a basket at the bakery saying "how are we supposed to pay for bread when they're taking all our dough?" (dough meaning money) i seriously need help with this and i don't know where to start because i am not gifted in this area. PLEASE help me

I have a great one for you. This may be just a little complicated, but if you follow me, as I hope your teacher will, this will be good. There was a riot for bread in Paris during this period, and a young Napoleon was put in charge of a artillery battery that was to stop the riot. He ordered his men to fire on the crowd. You can take the famous Marie Antoinette quote: "let them eat cake" (which she said when she was queen and the people in Paris were starving) and use that with this. Napoleon could say: "They want food? Let them eat lead."
