Maybe I am a cruel person deep down inside but this did make me laugh.
Bush vs. the Taliban
Mullah Mohammed Hasan Akhund, the deputy Taliban leader, and George W.
Bush agree to meet in Kabul for the first round of talks in a new
anti-terrorism process. When George sits down, he notices three buttons
on the arm of Akhund's chair.
They begin talking. After about five minutes Akhund 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 Akhund laughs. A few
minutes later the second button is pressed. This time a big boot comes
out and kicks Bush in the shin. Again Akhund 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 Afghan. "We'll finish these
talks in Washington in two weeks!"
A fortnight passes and Akhund flies to the United States for talks. As
the two men sit down, Akhund notices three buttons on Bush's chair arm
and prepares himself for the Texan's retaliation. They begin talking and
George presses the first button. Akhund ducks, but nothing happens.
George snickers but they continue talking. A few minutes later he
presses the second button. Akhund jumps up, but again nothing happens.
Bush roars with laughter. They continue the talks but when the third
button is pressed, Akhund jumps up again, but again nothing happens.
Bush falls on the floor in a fit of hysterics. "Forget this," says
Akhund. "I'm going back to Afghanistan!" George W. says, through tears
of laughter, "What Afghanistan?"
