This was far to good not to share with the lists (esp. the Vets!).
Saddam Hussein & Bill Clinton meet up in Baghdad for the first round of
talks in a new peace process. When Bill 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 springsout
of a box on the desk & punches Clinton in the face.
Confused, Clinton carries on talking as Saddam laughs. A few minutes
later, the second button is pressed. This time a big boot comes out &
kicks Clinton in the shin. Again Saddam laughs, & again Clinton carries on
talking, not wanting to put off the bigger issue of peace between the
two countries. But when the third button is pressed & another boot comes
out & kicks Clinton in the privates, he's finally had enough, knowing that
he can't do much without them functioning well. "I'm going back home!" he
tells the Iraqi. "We'll finish these talks in two weeks.!"
A fortnight passes & Saddam flies to the United States for talks. As
the two men sit down, Hussein notices three buttons on Clinton's chair &
prepares himself for the Yank's revenge. They begin talking & Bill presses
the first button. Saddam ducks, but nothing happens. Clinton snickers.A
few seconds later he presses the second button. Saddam jumps up, but
again nothing happens. Clinton roars with laughter. When the third button is
pressed, Saddam jumps up again, & again nothing happens. Clinton falls
on the floor in a fit of hysterics. "Forget this," says Saddam. "I'm going
back to Baghdad." Clinton says, through tears of laughter, "What Baghdad?"
