Seeing as how something tells me this is a good day for a little levity, and I keep getting laughs out of these, I’m continuing on a theme here. Hopefully nobody minds too terribly much! I actually had this posted on another blog a while ago, but here it is again.<\/p>\n
\n We take you now to the Oval Office…<\/p>\n
George: Condi! Nice to see you. What’s happening?<\/p>\n
Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.<\/p>\n
George: Great. Lay it on me.<\/p>\n
Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.<\/p>\n
George: That’s what I want to know.<\/p>\n
Condi: That’s what I’m telling you.<\/p>\n
George: That’s what I’m asking you. Who is the new leader of China?<\/p>\n
Condi: Yes.<\/p>\n
George: I mean the fellow’s name.<\/p>\n
Condi: Hu.<\/p>\n
George: The guy in China.<\/p>\n
Condi: Hu.<\/p>\n
George: The new leader of China.<\/p>\n
Condi: Hu.<\/p>\n
George: The Chinaman!<\/p>\n
Condi: Hu is leading China.<\/p>\n
George: Now whaddya’ asking me for?<\/p>\n
Condi: I’m telling you Hu is leading China.<\/p>\n
George: Well, I’m asking you. Who is leading China?<\/p>\n
Condi: That’s the man’s name.<\/p>\n
George: That’s whose name?<\/p>\n
Condi: Yes.<\/p>\n
George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China?<\/p>\n
Condi: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
Condi: That’s correct.<\/p>\n
George: Then who is in China?<\/p>\n
Condi: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
George: Yassir is in China?<\/p>\n
Condi: No, sir.<\/p>\n
George: Then who is?<\/p>\n
Condi: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
George: Yassir?<\/p>\n
Condi: No, sir.<\/p>\n
George: Look, Condi. I need to know the name of the new leader of China. Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone.<\/p>\n
Condi: Kofi?<\/p>\n
George: No, thanks.<\/p>\n
Condi: You want Kofi?<\/p>\n
George: No.<\/p>\n
Condi: You don’t want Kofi.<\/p>\n
George: No.\u00a0But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the U.N.<\/p>\n
Condi: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.<\/p>\n
Condi: Kofi?<\/p>\n
George: Milk! Will you please make the call?<\/p>\n
Condi: And call who?<\/p>\n
George: Who is the guy at the U.N?<\/p>\n
Condi: Hu is the guy in China.<\/p>\n
George: Will you stay out of China?!<\/p>\n
Condi: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.<\/p>\n
Condi: Kofi.<\/p>\n
George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.<\/p>\n
(Condi picks up the phone.)<\/p>\n
Condi: Rice, here.<\/p>\n
George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese food in the Middle East?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
