Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush meet up in Baghdad for the first round of
talks in a new peace process. When George 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 springs out of a box
on the desk and punches Bush in the face. Annoyed, Bush carries on talking
as Saddam laughs. A few minutes later the second button is pressed. This
time a big boot comes out and kicks Bush in the shin. Again Saddam laughs,
and again George carries on talking, not wanting to put off the bigger
issue of peace between the two countries. But when the third button is
pressed and another boot comes out and kicks Bush square in the privates,
he's
finally had enough. "I'm headin' back home!" he calmly tells the Iraqi.
"We'll finish these talks in two weeks!" A fortnight passes and Saddam flies
to the United States for talks. As the two men sit down, Hussein notices
three
buttons on Bush's chair and prepares himself for the Yank's retaliation.
They begin talking and George presses the first button. Saddam ducks, but
nothing happens. George snickers. A few seconds later he presses the second
button. Saddam jumps up, but again nothing happens. Bush roars with
laughter. When the third button is pressed, Saddam jumps up again, but again
nothing happens. Bush falls on the floor in a fit of hysterics. "Forget
this," says Saddam. "I'm going back to Baghdad!" George W. says through tears of laughter, "What Baghdad?"
