joke for the day

i was listening to the radio on the way to work this morning, i heard a pretty funny joke. politics aside, if it's funny, it's funny.

the president was sitting at the head of the table during the morning briefing. rumsfeld was reading off the latest reports from iraq. "3 brazilian soldiers were killed outside mosul yesterday".

bush lets out a loud moan, and places his head in his hands, shaking his head back and forth.

the staff was stunned at the uncharacteristic display of emotion from the president. they all sat looking at each other in shock, wondering what to do next.

SecDef finally broke the silence by asking the president if he was ok.

bush raised his head and said "three brazilian soldiers were killed? that's horrible. how did this happen? and rumsfeld, how many is a brazilian?"

Yeah, like Ryan, I first heard it as a blonde joke.

I think I like this version better.
