Bush joke
[a self-described “bashful” member of the list asked me to forward this]
George Bush Jr. died, and of course went to hell. The devil, who
looked suspiciously like Karl Rove, admitted him with pleasure, but a
bit of consternation: Dubya, he explained, was certainly on the list,
and had to be let in, but as the inferno was severely overcrowded, he
would have to let someone go to make space. The devil considered for
a moment, and announced his decison: in recognition of his status as
former leader of the free world, Bush would be allowed to view three
possible eternities, and decide whose place he would take.
So the devil opened one door, and there was Saddam Hussein, trying to
keep afloat in a lake of boiling water. “No way”, said Bush. “I can’t
swim, and there’s no way I’m letting HIM out of here.
The devil opened another door, and there was Tony Blair, cracking
boulders with a sledgehammer in a roasting desert. “Sorry, Tony” said
Bush. “A Bush can’t do manual labor, we have illegal immigrants for
that stuff. Besides, the air conditioning is broken”.
The devil opens the third door, and there’s Bill Clinton, on his back
on a mattress, hands and feet tied, with Monica Lewinsky straddling
him, performing the services that made her famous. Bush decided on
the spot: “Now that’s what I call eternity”, he said. “I’ll take this
one”!
The devil replied “Are you sure? It can get tedious.”
“Absolutely”.
“So be it”, says the devil…
“Monica, you may go…”
