Following my visit from George the other day, I telephoned him at the "Casa Blanca" to see if he had got home OK.
During the conversation, we were interrupted when Condoleezer came into his office and proceeded to have a conversation with him.
I'm jolly glad that I tape record all of my phone conversations (since the restraining order ), as I could not make sense of the whole thing.
Here is the transcript, see what you think:-
George: Condi! Nice to see you. What's happening?
Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.
George: Great. Lay it on me.
Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.
George: That's what I want to know.
Condi: That's what I'm telling you.
George: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new leader of China?
Condi: Yes.
George: I mean the fellow's name.
Condi: Hu.
George: The guy in China.
Condi: Hu.
George: The new leader of China.
Condi: Hu.
George: The main man in China!
Condi: Hu is leading China.
George: Now whaddya asking ME for?
Condi: I'm telling you, Hu is leading China.
George: Well, I'm asking you. Who IS leading China?
Condi: That's the man's name.
George: That's who's name?
Condi: Yes.
George: Will you, or will you not, tell me the name of the new leader of China?
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was dead in the Middle East.
Condi: That's correct.
George: Then who is in China?
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir is in China?
Condi: No, sir.
George: Then who is?
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir?
Condi: No, sir.
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.
Condi: Kofi?
George: No, thanks.
Condi: You want Kofi?
George: No.
Condi: You don't want Kofi.
George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the U.N.
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.
Condi: Kofi?
George: MILK ! Now will you please make the call?
Condi: And call who?
George: Who is the guy at the U.N?
Condi: Hu is the guy in China.
George: Will you stay out of China?!
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.
Condi: Kofi.
George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now
get on the phone!
Most peculiar!
Ellpus.
Not, if you'd live in the US.
Johnny Carson did such a skit involving Reagan and Ziegler, regarding Arafat. It ended with Reagan pitifully asking "Ron, why are you doing this to me?" It was absolutely hilarious.
Lord ellpus - I laughed the roof down - it is so funny! Reminds me of the jokes with the surname "watt" as in "watt's your surname?" "Watt"
*ahhh...*
Can't stop thinking about it now.
I seek permission from your Lordship to send your post regarding who is the president of China to my peers and pals?
No problem at all.
Glad you liked it.
(secretly between you and me I received it from my sister in Oz)
a lot of Pakistani/Indian people are called Mistry.
So when one of them calls on the phone, and you ask who it is it could be A Mystery (mr)
or mystery man
Or "who was that dear"
I dunno its a bit of a mystery
etc etc
Also there is a place in Hertfordshire not far from here called Ware. (pronounced exactly as where)
Where's that?
In Hertfordshire
Where?
Yes
Ware
I told you Ware
Where?
Look could you just give me directions
To where?
I keep telling you Ware
And I'm asking you where?
Oh soddit I'll go to Stevenage.
Very few Pakistani families live in Ware, its a bit of a mystery.
Nobody has, as yet, commented on the fact that this is an update of the classic Abbot & Costello skit, "Who's on First?"

There is a movie, called "East is East" that's dealing with a Pakistani
family living in England. Quite funny actually.
Merry, I don't know Abbot & Castello
CJ -- Lou Abbot and Bud Costello were immensly popular comics in the 1940s and 1950s. On the movie screens, they were the natural successors to Laurel & Hardy. They also had a radio program and their "Who"s on First?" skit became an instant classic. At the time, there was a professional baseball player who had the unusual surname of Who (might have been different spelling). There was also someone named Watt. So the line was, "Who's on first [base], Watt's on second [base]." The expression "Who's on first" quickly became a vernacural catchall expression, similar to "whatever" today.
Hell, it's no longer funny if it has to be explained.
