Subject: Peace Talks
Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush meet up in Baghdad for the first round of
talks in a new peace process.
When George sits down, he notices three buttons on the side of Saddam's
chair. They begin talking. After about five minutes Saddam presses the
first button. A boxing glove springs out of a box on the desk and punches
Bush in the face. Annoyed, Bush carries on talking as Saddam laughs.
A few minutes later the second button is pressed. This time a big boot
comes out and kicks Bush in the shin. Again Saddam laughs, and again George
carries on talking, not wanting to put off the bigger issue of peace between
the two countries.
But when the third button is pressed and another boot comes out and kicks
Bush square in the privates, he's finally had enough. "I'm headin' back to
Washington!" he calmly tells the Iraqi. "We'll finish these talks in two
weeks in Washington!"
A fortnight passes and Saddam flies to the United States for talks. As the
two men sit down, Hussein notices three buttons on Bush's chair and prepares
himself for the Yank's retaliation. They begin talking and George presses
the first button. Saddam ducks, but nothing happens.
George snickers.
A few seconds later he presses the second button. Saddam jumps up, but again
nothing happens. Bush roars with laughter. When the third button is
pressed, Saddam jumps up again, but again nothing happens.
Bush falls on the floor in a fit of hysterics.
"Forget this," says Saddam. "I'm going back to Baghdad!"
George W. says through tears of laughter, "What Baghdad?"
