CLINTON, GORE, AND BUSH FACE FIRING SQUAD
Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and George W. Bush were set to
face a firing squad in a small Central American country.
Bill Clinton was the first one placed against the wall and just before the order was given he yelled out, "Earthquake!" The firing squad fell into a
panic and Bill jumped over the wall and escaped in the confusion.
Al Gore was the second one placed against the wall. The squad was
reassembled and Al pondered what he had just witnessed. Again before the order was given Al yelled out, "Tornado!" Again the squad fell apart and Al slipped over the wall.
The last person, George W. Bush, was placed against the wall. He was
thinking, "I see the pattern here, just scream out some! thing about a
disaster and hop over the wall." He confidently refused the blindfold
as the firing squad was reassembled. As the rifles were raised in his
direction he grinned from ear to ear and yelled, "Fire!"
BUSH AT THE PEARLY GATES
Einstein dies and goes to heaven. At the Pearly Gates, Saint Peter
tells him, "You look like Einstein, but you have NO idea the lengths that
some people will go to sneak into Heaven. Can you prove who you really
are?"
Einstein ponders for a few seconds and asks, "Could I have a
blackboard and some chalk?"
Saint Peter snaps his fingers and a blackboard and chalk instantly
appear.
Einstein proceeds to describe with arcane mathematics and
symbols his theory of relativity.
Saint Peter is suitably impressed. "You really! ARE Einstein!" he says. "Welcome to heaven!"
The next to arrive is Picasso. Once again, Saint Peter asks for
credentials. Picasso asks,
"Mind if I use that blackboard and chalk?"
Saint Peter says, "Go ahead! "
Picasso erases Einstein's equations and sketches a truly stunning mural with just a few strokes of chalk.
Saint Peter claps. "Surely you are the great artist you claim to be!" he
says. "Come on in!"
Then Saint Peter looks up and sees George W. Bush.
Saint Peter scratches his head and says, "Einstein and Picasso both managed to prove their identity. How can you prove yours?"
George W. looks bewildered and says, "Who are Einstein and Picasso?"
Saint Peter sighs and says, "Come on in, George."
