[Newspoetry] Joke...

[gillespie william k]

President Bush and Colin Powell are sitting in a bar.

A guy walks in and asks the bartender, "Isn't that Bush and Powell sitting
over there?"

The bartender says, "Yep, that's them."

So the guy walks over and says, "Wow, this is a real honor. What are you
guys doing in here?"

Bush says, "We're planning World War III."

And the guy says, "Really? What's going to happen?"

Bush says, "Well, we're going to kill 40 million Iraqis this time and one
bicycle repairman."

The guy exclaimed, "A bicycle repairman? Why kill a bicycle repairman?"

Bush turns to Powell, punches him on the shoulder and says, "See, smart
ass! I told you no one would worry about 40 million Iraqis!"
