Americans were stunned to discover that their Government had shutdown this weekend, having been totally unaware that it had even been functioning in the first place.

“Hang on, are they going to start governing? Is that what this is about?” another questioned.
Asked how many people usually worked at the White House, a spokesperson said, “About half”.
