President Bush’s morning security briefing is wrapping up. Donald Rumsfeld is concluding his part and says, “Finally, three Brazilian soldiers were killed yesterday near Baghdad.”
“OH MY GOD!” shrieks Bush, and he buries his head in his hands for a seemingly interminable 30 seconds. Stunned at the unexpected display of emotion, the president’s staff sit speechless, not sure how to react.
Finally, Bush looks up and asks Rumsfeld, “How many is a brazillion?”
Please tell me this is a joke – because with this guy, I actually can’t be sure.
Exactly! That’s why these jokes are so funny. If you read the White House parody sites, you can’t honestly be sure if it’s parody, or real…because the real stories sound too ridiculous/horrible to be true.
